Nelson Mandela has passed away at the age of 95
 
Quote:

South Africa's first black president and anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela has died, South Africa's president says.

Mr Mandela, 95, led South Africa's transition from white-minority rule in the 1990s, after 27 years in prison.

He had been receiving intense home-based medical care for a lung infection after three months in hospital.

In a statement on South African national TV, Mr Zuma said Mr Mandela had "departed" and was at peace.

RIP

Aw no, I hope he enjoyed the years he had following his incarceration.
Totally phenominal human being, a true revolutionary and visionary.
Hopefully one day his dream of peace will be realised.

This isn't the place or time to cause trouble, he is obviously relieved that the suffering has ended.

Black Dagger 05-12-2013 09:02 PM

Awful news.

Sickened that people are gloating his death on my timeline though, had to unfollow.

What a man , what a human being.....No one changed a nation for the better more than this giant....Kind, brave, noble, eloquent,intelligent, genuine, respectful, forgiving, determined, conciliatory, peace broker.....His enemies will point to his early years where fighting took place...but the fight was worth it.....How he reacted to imprisonment and the total injustice of it and of the racism in the country was an example to all human beings....the truth has set him free and all his people...God bless you Nelson, Youre a legend forever x
