Title: Mandella dead @ 95
Post by: rogwar on December 05, 2013, 03:54:46 PM
RIP

Definitely a man that will go down in history.

The future will be interesting.


RIP


He was not revered in high regards by many of my South African friends. The more that I learned the less I liked. However, he played a big role in history.

South Africa is an interesting place to visit. Robin Island as well.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Nevertheless he became a great fulcrum for change. RIP

I certainly give this man his due, he did a lot of good work. However, there is a lot to the story that the media will never tell the masses.

May Nelson rest in peace.

Africa has always been a savage and brutal land. Just living to the age of 95 is a fine accomplishment.

I have no doubt that he meant well. But the ANC destroyed that country.

After his release he never reoffended, proving to us all that prison does work. He was the poster boy for the prison system.

Let's see here, Mandela was the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalised racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. As South Africa's first black president Mandela formed a Government of National Unity in an attempt to defuse racial tension. He also promulgated a new constitution and created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses. Continuing the former government's liberal economic policy, his administration introduced measures to encourage land reform, combat poverty, and expand healthcare services. Internationally, he acted as mediator between Libya and the United Kingdom in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial, and oversaw military intervention in Lesotho. He declined to run for a second term, and was succeeded by his deputy, Thabo Mbeki. Mandela subsequently became an elder statesman, focusing on charitable work in combating poverty and HIV/AIDS through the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Also, he gained international acclaim for his activism, having received more than 250 honours, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Soviet Order of Lenin.

All this after serving 27 years in prison.

Yeah you're right. He was just another nobody......my bad.

You nancy pants brits called Americans terrorists too at one time. But that all changed when your royals came begging us to save you from Germany......not once but twice.


And I'm sure if Mandela wanted to write a song it would have sold more copies than that stupid song "I Think I'm Turning Chinese"  :rolleyes: Only a book about soul music written by a brit could sell less copies.  



That's all have to say to you troll. Now go away.

Many people, as is evidenced by the many discussions about his passing that can be found.  Noting the passing of a person of historic significance does not mean you cannot also note the passing of the American soldiers who died yesterday.  The reverse is also true.

The majority of SA loved and wanted Mandella's way for SA... it has always been the minority that ruled ...it is now the minority who still bad mouth.... The man is an icon of change...Unfortunately this dies with him....out of respect it will continue on a path of pretending to change. This will not last and the generations of hate will prevail. it is very unfortunate..I hope I am wrong

Mandella faced a struggle and was touted a terrorist by those who lived by ruling in fear..... to be treated as such and not turning to hate but still wanting to instill unity to his country is beyond compare.... this man will go down in history among the greats...

One thing to look at...he was 95... Ok.... but look at the time frame .... 1918 - 2013 ...... there has been so much change is this world in that time and his goal was only ever one thing

Oh yeah....ole Winnie.... yes, she is a very nasty piece of work....   

As a person who has direct contact with SA people... married into it and all...one thing has stood out to me as a very real thing.... my brother in law once said...and it has stuck....
friend of Jonno" I really want to learn South African...
jonno  " you don"t learn it....you live it!

We have no idea... I have heard many great and horrible stories.... but that is all it is stories...

Winnie Mandella and her bodyguards came up with the "necktie" method of dealing with opponents. Not a nice woman, and a stain on Mandella's legacy.

You will be telling me the American civil war was fought because white people felt sorry for the Slaves.

Reverance for these 'Icons' is shameful.

You expect it from the Third world or those in the Middle east

WINNIE  was his voice when he was inside and he was used by the elites both black and white.

The West has been stealing from africa for centuries, not the US because they would not do such a thing, and not Nigerian oil

You show me a man that doesn't influence his woman, I'll show you a man that is not a man. Control and Lead are not the same thing, however in the native African culture the men Did control the women.
