WBC sites the fact that the Rainbow Nation has no ban on the Westboro Baptist Church.

WBC tweeted its intention at 9 p.m. December 5:


“THANK GOD for Nelson Mandela being dropped into hell! Westboro Baptist Church booking flight to South Africa (not banned) to picket funeral!”

According to the Sandon Chronicle, all roads to Mandela’s Houghton home were closed at 7:30 a.m. on December 6. Police are now barricading the road and are not letting people through.

Many are outraged at the WBC intention to picket Mandela’s funeral. It is unknown whether the WBC will be stopped from picketing the funeral.

The Westboro Baptist Church has tweeted several news agencies in an attempt to get details on the funeral for Mandela so that they can make plans to picket.

Several tweets in response to the WBC suggest that they will not be offered the same protections they receive in the United States if they try to picket

The controversial organisation, which has picketed funerals of US soldiers and other prominent people, tweeted that it will be travelling to South Africa to protest at the struggle icon's funeral.

"THANK GOD for Nelson Mandela being dropped into hell! Westboro Baptist Church booking flight to South Africa (not banned) to picket funeral!" it tweeted.

"'World leaders mourn the death of Nelson Mandela' #Madiba 'Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!' Jesus Christ at Luke 6:26," it later posted.

However, other Twitter users have hit back at the organisation.

"You are truly lost human beings, you claim 2 b people of god but you couldnt be further from the truth you preach nothing but hate," said user @Tuckthestrutt.

"South Africa will most certainly greet you with more extreme prejudice than authorities allow here in the US. Some may not return," said Twitter user @JimFTFD.

"Disrespectful scumbags. If anyone is going to hell, it's you guys," responded another user, @Hushpigg

Thought about this and cannot realistically think they would be stupid enough to attempt a stunt like this.

Nelson Mandela is so revered in South Africa that if anybody tried to picket his funeral in this disgusting manner with placards saying NM burn in hell, well to be honest they would not last 5 mins and would most like all be dragged into the nearest field stood up covered in tyres and then set on fire.

Come to think of it this would be a fitting end for the members of this sick cult.

So bring it on ... !!!!
