Happy Birthday To Madiba (And The Brand Ambassador)

It's the 18th of July, which of course means it's Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday. Jesus Hernandez, that's QUITE a long innings, full of great stroke play and the occasional quick single, with one or two stoppages for rain (give or take 27 years).

Happy birthday Madiba, hope the day proves to be everything you hoped it would be, and you get lots of gifts and presents, which is actually the same thing, so I'm being redundant right now.

On a related note, it ALSO happens to be The Brand Ambassador's birthday which is pretty amazing if you think about it. I mean, come on, how many South African legends get to share a birthday? None that I can think of, besides Madiba and The Ambassador.

The Ambassador isn't turning 90 (as far as I know) but he has also had quite the icon none the less, so kudos to the both of them.


Madiba And The Brand Ambassador Sharing A Fish Eagle Brandy. Totally Authentic, I Don't Know Why The Picture Looks So Fake Though.

Seriously, congratulations to the old man. I haven't had the pleasure of actually meeting him in person (I'm one of the 57 people in South Africa who haven't met him as yet) but I've met The Brand Ambassador on numerous occasions so that's pretty cool as well.

Many Happy Returns to the both of you.

Tot volgende keur. (as they say in Spanish)
