That this House remembers with respect and love, in the week of his birthday, the incredible legacy left by Nelson Mandela to the world; acknowledges that to many Africans he was known simply as Madiba; endorses the message behind Mandela Day that all citizens of the world should endeavour to do good every day; agrees that the actions of those citizens should focus on the realisation or restoration of dignity and empowerment, looks forward to welcoming Madiba's friend and one time fellow political prisoner Denis Goldberg to Parliament on 20 July 2016; and supports calls by the Nelson Mandela Foundation to make every day a Mandela Day.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
