People are cretins.

He was suffering for a while, so I understand Marc's comment, no need to start in this thread Truth.

Icon and now he can finally rest.

RIP






But prepare for a media domination just this

When Mandela dies, and David Cameron jumps on the Mandela bandwagon, remember that in 1985 he was a top member of the Federation of Conservative Students, which produced the "Hang Mandela" posters. In 1989, Cameron worked in the Tory Policy Unit at Central Office and went on an anti-sanctions fact-finding mission to South Africa with a pro-apartheid lobby firm sponsored by PW Botha. Remember this when he tells the world he was inspired by Madiba.

'Cameron broke with previous Conservative policy on South Africa while he was opposition leader. Returning in 2006 from a South African trip on which he met Mandela for the first time, he wrote in the Observer: "The mistakes my party made in the past with respect to relations with the ANC and sanctions on South Africa make it all the more important to listen now."'

[the truth]

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

Rest in peace

A very sad day indeed.

A great human being.

[joeysteele]

Nelson Mandela,someone who gave the finest examples of conviction, endurance and patience, no matter what strife he had to go through.

Definitely a human being who should never be forgotten and one of the rare people who actually deserves his place in greatness as to history.

R.I.P.

R.I.P Nelson Mandela.

As the TV eulogise Nelson Mandela now, let no-one forget Nelson Mandela went to jail in 1964, and stayed there for 26 years, until 1990. Let no-one forget what went on in between. Britain went on trading with South Africa, like nothing was wrong. Some people took individual stances, refusing to trade, but the British govt. carried on trading, for all of 26 years after his arrest, with South Africa.

[Livia]

The world is a better place for having had him in it. Alav ha-shalom, rest in pace.

News "Literally no other leader has had to face the challenges that he has"

You're durn ****ing skippy!!

He was a great man, if you're going to really take a look back at what he did.
Yes he and Obama are both the first black presidents of a nations, but stop there that's the only similarity.
Obama is nowhere near Nelson's league

Oh hearing lady smith Black Mambonzo made me tear up.
