R.I.P Nelson Mandela

[TGB]

Yes. May he rest in peace. He helped forge a nation of tolerism and forgiveness. I hope the memory of what he and so many others endured to secure freedom for all South Africans, is not forgotten; and is continued to be built upon. So its people and their country can flourish in peace.

An absolutely incredible human being.

Whenever I see the pictures of the famous people that my employer has met, Mandela is always the one that makes me think 'I wish had I been there that day'. An incredible statesman and a great inspiration. Rest in peace, Madiba, your long walk is done.

No? What was it?

A Terrorist or something similar. and Cameron was invloved with making pro-apartheid, anti-anc posters in the 80's.

 

Anyway, lets not concentrate on those scoundrels - RIP Mandela, glad you lived to see the change you worked and suffered so hard for!

I heard in the news that everyone was standing outside Nelson Mandela house today,

 

Didn't realise Del Boy had died!

RIP Nelson Mandela - and RIP to all the victims of the ANC bombings and shootings in South Africa during his time as ANC chief. He renounced violence in the end and was not a bitter man after his time in prison, he led a post Apartheid South Africa - quite a feat of Leadership...but lets not forget he was not the 'Angel' that our media will portray him as now he has passed....

The man did well but a quick reccy of his past would knock the halo into another orbit.

 

?Saint? Mandela? Not So Fast!

Well said and lets not forget the racism that is now happening to the white population of S.A
