Nelson Mandela

 

BBC actually interrupted their programmes to announce it

 

 

That's is quite old fashioned. That must be the first time since the Queen Mother was brown bread?

Appears it was only BBC 1 that did it. ITV decided it could wait for 20mins so people could see the latest from 'the jungle'

Unsurprising but very sad news nonetheless. I remember a saffa in my year 3 class being very proud that the country had a new flag and political situation. Little did I know of the significance of the event at the time. May Mandelas legacy live long beyond us.

Nelson Mandela is probably the bravest man to live in modern ages.  That alone should bring him respect, but then you look at what he was fighting for, when he was fighting for it, and consequently who he was fighting against for it... and it makes you respect him even more. 

 

He forgave the people who wronged him in almost the worst way imaginable.  The people in our country can't even respect each other when a bona fide tragedy strikes.
