South African Government has announced the death of Nelson Mandela.
South African president Jacob Zuma announced that the former president
and anti-apartheid revolutionary passed away peacefully in the company
of his family in his home in Johannesburg around 8:50 this evening Dec.
5th. He was 95 years old.!
He's one of the political prisoners that end up being a president of a Nation, He accomplished this by intelligence, guile, pati
ence, tolerance for his
enemies — and a display of such majestic dignity he commanded the
sympathy of the world, even the grudging sympathy of the white South
Africans from whom he won power.
His death marks the final chapter in a life that changed
South Africa forever. What a man! May his soul rest in peace, amen.
President Jacob Zuma said flags will be flown at half-mast across South
Africa immediately with a state burial to follow. The UK government have
also announced that flags will be flown at half-mast in the UK. Rest in
peace, Madiba
