Those of you that have been keeping up with his status know that he was at the hospital recently in bad condition. Well, today, he passed away surrounded by friends and family. His death was announced by South Africa's current president.
Extremely sad to hear this news, he was such an inspiration to many. The only reason I'm relieved about this is because he had been so ill. At least he's finally comfortable and at rest.
Also extremely sad to hear this, a great man just died. A lot of my teachers in Highschool used to worship him as an Idol because of what he accomplished. Rest In Peace Nelson Mandela. As the current president of Africa would have said it; “The founding father of our nation has departed. May his soul rest in peace. God bless Africa.”
