I'm crying Sad. What a great man.

Hamba Khale Madiba

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.

thegreylady · 05/12/2013 23:17

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