Nelson Mandela has died. (179)
DaytonaDude: I've spoken with her before on Skype and telephone. I can assure you, she has no problem with English. In fact with her kiwi accent, she makes it sound better then I do.
I don't doubt what you say, maybe it's just me that thinks her written phraseology is strange. I like Sophie and it's her prerogative if she writes in her own fashion, like I said I didn't know you were English Sophie sorry.

LadyDiz: I live but a few streets from the house where Tata Madiba passed away, and I've seen a steady flow of people and cars pass on their way to pay tribute at his home. The faces are grave and somber.
The mood is one of grief and loss. It is difficult for those who did not live here during Apartheid, who were not part of the struggle for liberation, or who don't continue to strive for the South Africa Tata Madiba envisaged, to truly understand the loss that we feel here.

The world was given a great gift, a great man, a man who taught countless numbers that love and forgiveness will always prevail over hate and resentment.
His legacy will live on and inspire others for many years to come.
R.I.P. Nelson Mandela...

An excerpt from a blog posted by a Toronto radio station host...
"Nelson Mandela, a man whose life has come to signify so many important social and polictical things, also for me represents the power music has to not only affect change but also to bring out the good in all of us.
Rest in Peace Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. You most certinly deserve that!"

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite"-Nelson Mandela.

RIP Nelson Mandela
You were the true meaning of the word "LEADER"
Sadly, humans are the only species on this planet that choose weak leaders to govern their countries all around the world IMO!!
We NEVER see this happen in the animal kingdom simply because their world depends on gr8 leadership for their survival!!
You will be sorely missed Mr Mandela!!

It was the lead story in the news tonight in Finland, as I should imagine it was all over the world, this just shows how universally he was loved.

People like Nelson Mandela help mankind to become more conscious/aware of love, peace and good will to all man/womenkind... and as they say "Consciousness never goes backwards"
Even though his life has ended at the wonderful ripe old age of 95, his legacy will live on forever in our hearts and minds!!

I haven´t read all the thread..............and I can´t be bothered to either.
A man who was placed in the world theatre when he was needed. No saint.....but diverted the scales of justice.
God placed him where he was needed.

Mixed news in the British press, but generally positive. RIP
Prince William made a nice tribute following the premiere of the new movie Long Walk To Freedom in Leicester Square. Mandela's daughters were there which I found a little odd considering their father was dying, but they left the cinema immediately upon hearing the news of his death before the film started.

You are flooding this thread with negativity, along with few others your posting in. Honestly HOOLET, grow up. Take a break from CS.I would say he proved himself fare beyond any expectation. When someone has done so much for humanity, it is only natural that the people that believed in him and everything he stood for stand together, and together they pay there respects.

Hey... There are thousands of us here on CS who go on multiple threads... And amazingly not even 200 individuals at this point have paid their respects on here since the great man's death. Our children and children's children will read and study about this iconic figure in their history books for decades to come. Both black and white south Africans have a great loss to deal with.
Let's keep this nation in our prayers as their father of freedom is no longer with them...
R . I . P
