[governance] Mandela: a giant passes

Fri Dec 6 10:04:25 EST 2013

Mawaki

Despite the glowing legacy bequeathed by Madiba some devil encarnates
still parodes the air to smear the man.

A French TV program last night made us to understand that "Nelson
Mandela could not run for a second term because 'he was a man of power
or prepared for it" They saiq some other useless thing so much so that
my spychic self could not withstand it anymore. I started dosing off
and by the time I woke off, my daughter had switched off the TV.

I started wondering how wome people can delve into such dirty work
with such alacrity and so soon?

However, the sound minded will live to celebrate Madiba as could be
expressed by this South African White wo wire a very tall flower on
the fence of Madiba's compound fence

We (Africans) are in for a live long celebration for Madiba.
