Has passed away

Very sad news

Did so much for peace in the world
 
RIP Nelson Mandela

Heart of a lion, never to be seen again. A true gentleman.

Now that is very sad news , spent a lot of years in jail fighting for what many elsewhere take for granted ..........a true legend in his life time ............RIP
 
As far as I am concerned, the greatest Statesman in my lifetime (60 years)

Anyone who can spend 27 years incarcerated and not be bitter is something else! Watching him walk out of Robben Island Prison was another of my 'unforgettable' moments.

And what he did at the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final united the Nation - and quite possibly much of the sensible world.

However, I do fear for the future of South Africa without him!

Very few people have truly earned the title of great, but Mr. Mandela was one who surely did.
A wonderful human being, who always seamed to have a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, and i believe a man who genuinely cared.
What a sad,sad day.
 
In complete agreement with the sentiments expressed above.

I held him in awe for his conciliatory attitude towards those who had unjustly held him captive for so many years and oppressed his people for no reason other than the colour of their skin.

Will we ever see the like of him again.
 
Probably one of Obama's better speeches - seems pretty much his own words rather than the usual speech-makers!

I'm surprised how old Obama now looks though!

Yes I saw most of the world leaders statements and Obama's words were perfect.


He does have a slightly stressful job though and that can make you look older.

RIP Mr Mandela, you deserve it
 
Totally agree with what has been said before

A man more full of good , you will not meet

HOWEVER, one thing disturbs me greatly

It is clear that Mandela has been kept artificially alive for several weeks/ months and now his death coincides with the release of a major film about his life .

members of the family have been cashing in on his name for a while , and whilst I hope I am wrong, the timing is too exact, too stage managed to be a coincidence.............. or is it?

and so another conspiracy theory starts
