Default 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.

The great man, RIP.

Finally. This man has been in and out of hospital for ages.

Edit: I realise that sounds pretty disrespectful. R.I.P etc.

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

No it doesn't.

It's often a release for people waiting for loved ones waiting to die. Death is inevitable, and waiting for a loved one to die can be very very draining.

So much so, it is a relief when they finally die.

That does come across disrespectful even though that wasn't your intention and I know what your intention was.

He was a great man and a huge loss to this world, but yes, I am glad his suffering his over at long last.

So sad, his daughter was on TV today saying how amazing the Idris Elba movie about Nelson was and how she hoped he would see it.

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.

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