Mandela spirit needed to build better societies, more equal world

As I was doing interviews in Johannesburg for the 10th BRICS Summit, I met Wesley Seale, a young man from South Africa who just returned from Beijing Foreign Studies University.

Seale said he chatted with a taxi driver as he was headed to Beijing Capital International Airport to take a flight home. The driver asked him where he was from.

When Seale said South Africa, the driver excitedly shouted, "Mandela! Mandela!"
