Mandela is NOT that great of a statesman; he's just a lot smoother than some of the other African thugs. How well has South Africa been doing under his tenure?

Even if Mandela's overrated, he's positively James Madison by African standards.
I imagine 95% of Zimbabweans would trade Mugabe for him in a nanosecond.

I would rather have him in charge than Mugabe. SA wasn't that bad under Mandela. It's hell under Mbeki. Just pray Mandela lives long enough.
