Mourners converged on Mr Mandela's home in the city to light candles and pay tribute to the man who ended apartheid and gave them their freedom.

I am lifting a toast to Mandela meeting his god...Lucifer. Our current “dear leader” is no different and will have his just rewards.

“Rainbow Nation”?? It’s a black state for blacks. Everyone else is just a knockout game target.

The ones I mourn for are those who built South Africa into one of the most advanced nations on earth only to have the rest of the world force Black rule on them, especially Communist Black rule.

Now the ones who made the country such a shining diamond in a sea of coal are being murdered by the thousands, are leaving but having to leave their wealth for the Commie to seize.

In 20 years it will just be another basket case black ruled nation.

There already is a blood bath. Whites murdered by Blacks who know they can do it with impunity.

“In 20 years it will just be another basket case black ruled nation.”

Considering Zim, I’d give them ten...max.

Five years. That’s my final answer. ;^(
