Former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, has died. In an announcement today, a spokesman stated that he “departed… in the presence of his family.”
“He is now resting, he is now at peace. Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father,” he added.
Mandela was 95.
Gee, I already don’t miss him
Buhbye commie
Wait a year and you’ll see the difference. Yes, there have been some attacks on farms, etc., but the more rabid black factions had said years ago they were holding their fire only until Mandela.
I’m not lionizing Mandela, but was still what passed for a unifying figure there.
*only until Mandela died.

“Mandela was the glue that held S.A. together”
Excerpt from a website:
In a development that was considered surprising by analysts and South African exiles who spoke with WND, the BBC also touched on the ongoing farm murders that have claimed as many as 10 percent of the nation’s European-descent farmers.
“Virtually every week the press here report the murders of white farmers, though you will not hear much about it in the media outside South Africa,” the report said...
“The government has so far been unwilling to make solving and preventing these murders a priority,” the BBC report continued....
Many of the victims, often children and babies, are brutally tortured before being killed.
The horrors have included drowning infants in boiling water, raping children, disemboweling whole families, dragging victims for miles behind a vehicle and other unimaginable atrocities.
Experts say the goal is to terrorize and eventually eliminate white farmers, with Genocide Watch’s Stanton and numerous other convinced that the ultimate aim is to establish communist tyranny.

Could’ve been a great man, but chose to lead his people in the wrong direction. Prayers for his soul.
Barry boy!
That’s all left-wing propaganda.
Oh yeah.
Should we mourn the passing of terrorists?
Uncanny!
I don’t get the tire and matches thing.
95% of GOP politicians will praise him.
Disgusting
Google "Mandela necklacing".
I get all that... I wasn’t praising Mandela (though, whether he or some other faction instigated these attacks against white farmers is debatable). My point was that, with all his warts, he was the only unifying figure in post-apartheid S.A. Now that he’s gone, look for the situation S.A. to deteriorate rapidly.
