I'm crying Sad. What a great man.

A truly great man has gone from the world. I hope his passing is marked with the dignity and respect he deserves. Amandla!

"It always seems impossible until it's done"....Mandela.

A man of the most incredible vision, determination and humanity.

The end of an era. I am old enough to remember the apartheid era and the struggles against it...the anti-apartheid movement in this country and globally...he made such an impression on me in my formative youth. His legacy is too huge to measure.

RIP great man.

BillyBanter · 05/12/2013 22:51

A once in a lifetime man. RIP.

Perhaps we should all show our appreciation and wear some loud lounge shirts to work (or a no. 6 'Bok rugby shirt)

HeeBeeGeebies · 05/12/2013 22:58

What a hero, RIP.

LizzieVereker · 05/12/2013 23:04

May he now have the long peaceful rest which he so richly deserves. Goodnight, Great Gentleman.

my thoughts - as a South African - on this wonderful man.

SantaIKnowHimIKnowHim · 05/12/2013 23:10

A great man, and a sad loss.

EllaMenOhPea · 05/12/2013 23:10

Sad, but he achieved so much in his lifetime.

A truly amazing man, and an inspiration.

May he rest in peace.

LulaPalooza · 05/12/2013 23:12

That's beautiful, joshandjamie. Thank you for sharing that.

iwantavuvezela · 05/12/2013 23:12

Rip Madiba. Your life is your struggle you said. No more struggle for you. Always loved

Dawndonnaagain · 05/12/2013 23:14

RIP.

RealAleandOpenFires · 05/12/2013 23:15

R.I.P. Sir (I hope that he will be remembered on all calenders for years to come). heck I remember when the Antiques Roadshow, was interrupted for the "live transmission" of his release.

I just hope to the Gods that SA doesn't implode now...Sad

ChairmanWow · 05/12/2013 23:16

Such sadness that the world has lost the rarest of people - someone who risked everything and lost his freedom to fight for the freedom of others. RIP Madiba. The world is an emptier place without you.

An amazing man of great strength and integrity. Rest easy now :(
