Nelson Mandela

[Boomba]

in hospital with lung infection

serious but stable

he's 94

I hope he is comfortable and it will be a sad day when he dies, but die he must. 94 - not bad is it?

?No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.?

Good Luck Madiba!

Heavens I thought something had happened to him. Wasn't he taken to hospital yesterday? I thought that it was interesting the news reports have said his wife is with him. When he was in hospital over Christmas there was no mention of her being there (I assume she was there). I wonder if by reporting she is there the authorities are preparing SA and the world for the worst.

i know mintyy
I think we all want him to live forever

i wonder what the effect on SA will be, when he does die...

I thought the same bico what a truly amazing man.

Local papers reporting family are tightening up press/visitor access. Media camped outside and Zuma always keen for a photo op
Hope its more peaceful inside.

He is a very old man, who has been ill a number of times in recent months.

I hope he is at peace.

He is an old man, and South African's aren't stupid, we know he must go one day. It will be a very, very sad day indeed. And a nation (nay, the world) will mourn. But in reality, he is no longer seen in public in SA, and has had many hospital admission in the last 24 months, I think most people are waiting for the inevitable.
