Re: RIP Nelson Mandella
absolute giant, very sad, however unfortunately not that unexpected though, he really hasn't been overly healthy for a while now I don't think.

Re: RIP Nelson Mandella
I agree with the sentiment totally. Somehow it seems to have become fashionable to knock him, but I standby him. Too put it crassly ......................a ****ing legend.

RIP Nelson Mandella
One of the worlds most famous people, but probably one of the only ones who is famous for good reason and who really deserves it!
He can certainly rest in peace knowing he truly changed the world! Sent from my iPhone |

Re: RIP Nelson Mandella
His drive for reconciliation rather than retribution probably stopped South Africa descending into the same mess as Zimbabwe. As someone else said, it's nice for a person to be famous for actually doing something. I don't know if he's changed the world, but he changed a whole country and that's not too shabby

Re: RIP Nelson Mandella
If only the rest of the worlds politicians would follow in his foot steps and be a little more selfless!
I am sick of the media coverage already though
