Looks like someone at Ananova read your post and called the hospital for confirmation. Maybe the US media will pick it up too.

No probably not- unless you can get the timelines to confirm this. I'll be honest here- I got this story as it happened via telephone. But owing to my own style and the want to verify certain aspects of the story I took longer to post it than I should've. But this story is my own and I didn't use any media sources for info except to learn the dates of Mandela's visit to the prisoner and the exact spelling of the name of the prison.

I still claim that this is a FR exclusive given the details in my story. I should've just come out guns blazin' when I learned of this but wanted to make it more solid.

We live we learn. You're still getting it pretty close to first hand though in my account. It's my own fault I didn't scoop the established media.
