In Africa, there has been no great figure since the death of South African President Nelson Mandela, who combined courage, authority, and magnanimity in graceful abundance. In fact, he is among the most charismatic and charming leaders I have met; the other two – former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and former US Secretary of State Colin Powell – also are either African or African-American.
在南非，南非总统曼德拉死后还没有人称得上伟大人物，曼德拉集勇气、权威和优雅的宽宏大度于一身。事实上，他是我见到过最具魅力的迷人领袖；另外两位——前联合国秘书长科菲·安南和前美国国务卿柯林·鲍威尔——不是非洲人就是非洲裔美国人。
