1 | Nelson Mandela, 90 years | 90 Taona i Nelson Mandela |
2 | We, the people of South Africa, feel fulfilled that humanity has taken us back into its bosom, that we, who were outlaws not so long ago, have today been given the rare privilege to be host to the nations of the world on our own soil. | Ampoky ny fifaliana izahay, vahoakan'i Afrika Atsimo, fa naverin'ny zanak'olombelona ho amin'ny fivelaranay, izahay, izay noheverina ho dahalo fotoana vitsy lasa izay, no nomena tombondahiny naiditra ho ao anatin'ny fiaraha-monina iraisam-pirenena eto amin'ny taninay manokana. |
3 | - from Nelson Mandela's Inauguration as President of South Africa, Pretoria, 10 May 1994. | |
4 | Nelson Mandela, photo from the ANC archives, where you can also find some selected speeches, statements and writings, such as the speech on release from prison. | - teny avy amin'i Nelson Mandela's nandritra ny fitokanana azy ho Filoham-pirenen'i Afrika Atsimo, tany Pretoria, ny 10 May 1994. |
5 | Nelson Mandela, anti-apartheid activist and the first South African president to be elected in fully representative democratic elections, celebrates his 90th birthday today and the tributes have crossed the borders of his home, Qunu, a small rural village in Eastern Cape, South Africa. | Nelson Mandela, ilay mpitolona nanohitra ny fanavakavaham-bolokoditra sady filoham-pirenena Afrikana Tatsimo voafidy tamin'ny fomba demaokiratika feno, no nankalaza ny faha-90 taonany androany [Zoma] ary nihoatra ny tranony any Qunu, vohitra kely any atsinanan'i Le Cap sy ny sisintany lavitra mihitsy izany ny fanomezam-boninahitra azy izany. |
6 | The world is singing happy birthday in one voice and sending him a card. | Niara-nihira ny fahatrarany fety (happy birthday) izao tontolo izao ary nandefa karatra fiarabana ho azy. |
7 | We concentrated on the happy returns posts from African based bloggers, who reflect here on the changes Madiba brought to their lives and countries, and dream about the future. | Ny ifantohantsika etoana dia ny lahatsora-pifaliana avy amin'ireo mpamaham-bolongana mipetraka eto Afrika, izay dindon'ny fiovana nentin'i Madiba tamin'ny fiainany sy ny fireneny, ary ny nofinofiny amin'ny ho avy. |
8 | Rethabile Masilo, a blogger originally from Lesotho, remembers the moment when she realised the importance of Mandela's fight. | Rethabile Masilo, mpamaham-bolongana Lesotho fiaviana, no mahatsiaro ny halehiben'ny tolona nataon'i Mandela. |
9 | Her account of a great family experience reaching South Africa as a refugee is worth a visit at the Black Looks blog: | Mendrika hotsidihana ny bolongany Black Looks noho ny traikefa niainan'ny fianakaviambeny raha nialokaloka tany Afrika Atsimo izy ireo: |
10 | I had a light bulb above my head, just like in cartoons, and the hair on my arms stood on end. | Nisy jiro kely nirehitra, toy ireny amin'ny tantara antsary ireny, teo ambony lohako, ary toy ny marikoditra aho. |
11 | The name Nelson Mandela dropped of it's own accord into my head, and I truly, really understood why he had sacrificed his life against this… thing. | Toa mirotsaka moramora eken'ny ao an-dohako ny anarana Nelson Mandela, ary tena takatro dia takatro tokoa ny nanaovany sorona ny fiainany iadiana amin'iny… zavatra iny. |
12 | For that particular zombie instant, hair on end, a stupid smile on my face, I knew why. I want to wish him a happy birthday today, and tell him that we know. | Amin'ity fotoam-pahatsiarovana ity (fitsanganan'ny maty “zombie” hoy ny lahatsoratra nadika), fotoana mamparikoditra, amin'izato hehy valaka misoritra eny amin'ny tavako, vao fantatro ny antony. |
13 | From South Africa, Sandi Schultz from My Whorl remembers clearly a day in early February 1990 when she heard Mandela, her ultimate hero, was freed, after 27 years in prison for fighting for a democratic and free society: | |
14 | 10 february 1990 - we're in the airport lounge in brussels. i see someone i know and she shouts out, “mandela's free tomorrow!” wow, we are floored by the news! at long last - and we're going to be home when it happens. | Avy ao Afrika Atsimo kosa i Sandi Schultz mpamahana ny My Whorl no mahatadidy tsara ilay fiandohan'ny volana Feboroary 1990 raha henony fa noafahana i Mandela, ilay maherifony indrindra, rehefa tany amponja nandritra ny 27 nitolona ho amin'ny fiarahamonina afaka sy demaokiratika: |
15 | we land sometime in the early hours and head straight for soweto to watch madiba's release on tv with friends of john's. it is momentous! the man walks out, taller, more charismatic than anyone could have imagined. larger than life. | |
16 | a survivor of the seemingly impossible. Louder than Swahili, a blog by a Danish expatriate in Tanzania, says that there is a lot to learn from Mandela, specially when it comes to our ability to forgive. | Louder than Swahili, bolongana Danoà monina any Tanzania indray no manambara fa maro ny azo ianarana avy amin'i Mandela, indrindra moa fa rehefa miatrika ny fahafahana mamela heloka isika. |
17 | She believes he is not just a normal president: | Mino izy fa tsy filoha tsotra fotsiny izy: |
18 | Mandela has gotten a position very few politicians could ever hope for. | Manana laka vitsy mpanao politika manana azy ka tsiriritina fatratra i Mandela. |
19 | It is very much due to Mandela that the country has been able to change and create a positive image of what now is labelled the rainbow nation. | |
20 | But keeping this brand alive is also very much dependent on how his predecessors manage to continue running the country. | Noho i Mandela no nahafahan'ny firenena niova sy nanjary tsara jinery noho ny anarana iangotiana azy hoe firenen'ny avana. |
21 | Photo from the ANC archives, a portrait from 1994 election poster. Read here his speech announcing the victory. | Fa ny fitazonana izany anarambositra tsara izany haharitra koa aloha dia miankina be dia be amin'izay ataon'ireo mpandimby azy ankehitriny. |
22 | On a post called ‘Bring Back Nelson Mandela', Africa is a Country makes some interesting observations about South Africa in 2008: | Ao amin'ny lahatsoratra hoe ‘Bring Back Nelson Mandela' (avereno i Nelson Mandela) , kosa no itarafan'i Africa is a Country izay mahaliana mikasika an'i Afrika Atsimo amin'ity 2008 ity: |
23 | It's of course a very interesting time to celebrate Mandela's 90th birthday. | Fotoana mahafinaritra tokoa izao hankalazana ny faha-90 taona nahaterahan'i Mandela. |
24 | It's been 18 years since has released from prison and 14 years since he was first elected as President. | 18 taona izay no nanafahana azy avyany amponja ary 14 taona kosa no nahafiloha voafidim-bahoaka voalohany azy. |
25 | And yes, in some ways South Africa today is unrecognizable from the country Mandela encountered in 1990. | Eny, amin'ny lafiny sasany dia tsy fantatra intsony ilay Afrika Atsimo natrehin'i Mandela tamin'ny 1990. |
26 | But some of the old inequalities persist. | Fa mbola misy ihany ny fitongilanana taloha misoritra etsy sy eroa. |
27 | South Africa - a country that revels in its “special” status - is also becoming an ordinary country. | Afrika Atsimo - ilay firenena “miavaka manokana” iny lahy - ka nanjary firenena tsotra amin'izao fotoana izao. |
28 | Memoires of Africa also reflects on Mandela's country difficult situation nowadays, and hopes that the hero's legacy will not be forgotten: | Memoires of Africa [fahatsiarovan'i Afrika] ihany koa dia mametraka izay fahasarotana mianjady amin'ny firenena izay ankehitriny, ary manantena fa tsy ho adinoina ny lova navelan'ilay maherifo: |
29 | It's a day for many to reflect on his legacy. | Fotoana tokoa izao ieritreretana ny lova napetrany. |
30 | At a time when South Africa is going through political upheavals many pray for his wisdom to be transferred to the current and potential future leadership of the country. | Amin'izao fotoana mampihotakotaka ny politika eto Afrika Atsimo dia maro no mivavaka mba hifindra amin'ny mpitondra ankehitriny sy hitondra rahampitso ny fahendrena nananany (Mandela). |
31 | Will his legacy be carried out to ensure that the stability and the future of this country reflect what he fought for? | Ho tafafindra ve ny lova mba ahafahana mitondra miadana ny firenena ahafahana mitaratra tokoa ny tolona nataony ho an'ny firenena? |
32 | But let's not get into politics for today… Ube neminye iminyaka Tata… | Fa andao aloha mba tsy hotarihin'ny politika androany e… Ube neminye iminyaka Tata… |
33 | From Mozambique, Seguindo os Sonhos [Following Dreams, pt], a musical group of four talented children, pays a special homage to Mandela with a song recorded specially for his 90th Birthday. | Avy any Mozambique kosa, Seguindo os Sonhos [Manaraka ny nofinofy, pt], tarika mpihira misy ankizy manantanlenta efatra, dia nandrakitra hira hira manokana ho fahatsiarovana ny faha-90 taona nahaterahan'i Mandela. |
34 | They will sing it at his birthday party in Maputo, on August 10th. | Hihira amin'ny fety hankalazaina amin'ny 10 aogositra ho avy izao any Maputo ry zareo . |
35 | You can read the lyrics here. | Azonao vakiana eto ny tonony eto. |
36 | Today's post is a happy birthday one: | Ny lahatsoaratra androany moa dia momba ny fetim-pahaterahana: |
37 | Nelson Mandela, our idol! This afternoon you will receive in South Africa a small gift from us: a DVD with our music and our video for your ninetieth birthday. | Hahazo fanomezana kely avy aminay i Nelson Mandela, ilay olona tsongoin'olombolo, amin'ity tolakandro ity any Afrika Atsimo: DVD iray misy ny ny lahatsarinay sy ny hiranay natokana ho amin'izao faha-90 taona anao izao. |
38 | You are a man of a humanist heart as there are very few in today's world, full of selfish people and political leaders who in the majority pursue individual agendas rather than domestic ones that could benefit their compatriots, and they proclaim themselves people's representatives and defenders. | Olona manana toe-panahy mendrika vitsy dia vitsy mpanana amin'izao fotoana izao manerana izao tontolo izao ianao, izao tontolo izao feno olona tia tena sy mpitarika politika tsy mahalala afa-tsy ny fandaharam-potoana ho an'ny tenany fa tsy mikatsaka ny tombotsoan'ny besinimaro, nefa dia mampihambo ny tenany ho solotenam-bahoaka sy mpiaro azy. |
39 | Jennifer Reynard tried not to cry at her desk (and she failed) as she went through her first memories of Nelson Mandela leaving jail, then the election day, watching the inauguration on TV and his 90th birthday: | Jennifer Reynard moa niezaka ihany ny tsy hitomany teo amin'ny biraony raha nahatsiaro ny nandaozan'i Nelson Mandela ny fonja, ny androm-pifidianana eo ampijerena tamin'ny fahitalavitra ny fanokafana ny faha90 taonany fa tsy tanany ny ranomasony: |
40 | Natasha, Tanja and I are at Natasha's aunt and uncle's house. | Tao an-tranon'i dadatoa sy nenitoan'i Natasha izaho sy i Natasha ary i Tanja. |
41 | “Did you send an sms for Mandela's birthday?” | “Nandefa sms ve ianao tamin'ny aniveriseran'i Mandela?” |
42 | Tush asks me. | Hoy i Tash amntsy ahy. |
43 | “Yes- but I kept it very simple. | “Eny- fa nataoko tsotra dia tsotra ny ahy. |
44 | Just ‘Happy Birthday Madiba. | Nataoko fotsiny hoe ‘Happy Birthday Madiba. ( |
45 | God bless and have many more. | Arabaina fa nahatratra ny fetinao ianao Madiba) Homba anao anie Andriamanitra ary hahatratra ny arivo mitsingeringerina. |
46 | Love Jenny”. | Maripitiavana avy amin'i Jenny”. |
47 | ” Not me,” Natasha says “I got quite emotional, saying ‘Thank you for sending our country on its way to democracy…” Today- grey skies. | ” Izaho tsy nandefa,” hoy Natasha “nidobodoboka be ny foko, niteny hoe ‘Mankasitraka anao noho ny nitarihanao ny firenentsika ho any amin'ny demaokirasia…” Malomaloka ny andro androany. |
48 | I slept past my alarm clock. | Mbola natory aho na dia naneno aza ny fanairana. |
49 | I got to work late. | Tara aho vao tonga tany ampiasana. |
50 | My eyes are teary. | Bongon-dranomaso ny masoko. |
51 | I wish I had baked a cake. | Faniriako ny hanao mofomamy. |
52 | I wish I could share with someone how much today means. | Faniriako raha mba misy olona miaramizara amiko ny halehiben'ity andro ity. |
53 | I listen to Asimbonanga, Impi, Scatterlings of Africa and others on Youtube. | Nihaino Asimbonanga, Impi, Scatterlings of Africa sy ny maro hafa tamin'ny Youtube aho. |
54 | I watch the video of Madiba on stage in Frankfurt. I want to cry for our country, and our people, for being so far away but for always having Africa in my heart. | Nijery ny lahatsarin'i Madiba fony izy tany Frankfurt aho. te-hitomany ho an'ny tanindrazanay sy ny olona ao aminy aho noho ny fahalavirantany saingy ao ampoko mandrakariva i Afrika. |
55 | Mandela is an icon, but the key thing about him is it feels like each one of us carries a piece of him- a quote, a special memory, the image ofMadiba shirts hanging in OR Thambo - in our hearts. | Olona masina i Mandela, fa ny lakilen'ny famantarana azy dia ny fahatsapan'ny tsirairay fa misy sombiny avy aminy entitsika tsirairay avy - sombinteny, fahatsiarovana manokana, sarin'i Madiba amin'ny akanjo NA ny an'i Thambo - any ampotsika any. |
56 | Not only does he remind the world that we count, that we mean something, but in some small way, his birthday has the power to bring me home. | Tsy ny nampahatsiaro an'izao tontolo izao fa eo koa izahay, fa misy dikany izahay ihany no nentiny, fa misy lafiny koa amin'ny fahatsiarovana ny aniveriserany hery nitondra ahy ho any an-tanindrazana. |
57 | Happy birthday Madiba. God bless you. | Nahatratra ny fetinao ianao Madiba. |
58 | Written with the collaboration of Rebecca Wanjiku | Homba anao anie Andriamanitra. |
