End of an era! Nelson Mandela dies at 95

South African Government has announced the death of Nelson Mandela. South African president Jacob Zuma announced that the former president and anti-apartheid revolutionary passed away peacefully in the company of his family in his home in Johannesburg around 8:50 this evening Dec. 5th. He was 95 years old.

His death marks the final chapter in a life that changed South Africa forever. What a man! May his soul rest in peace, amen.

President Jacob Zuma said flags will be flown at half-mast across South Africa immediately with a state burial to follow. The UK government have also announced that flags will be flown at half-mast in the UK. Rest in peace, Madiba!

"Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity.” ~ Nelson Mandela 1996... Africa has lost a father,and the world has lost a leader. You'll always live to us Tata Madiba!

RIP Mandela. The best way to honour him now is to change the country name from South Africa to Madiba. A great leader is gone....

Oh dear! A lesson to us the living: What sort of name are we making? What will people say after our demise? And what will we want them to say about us?

Let us live today as if it were the last to be remembered especially by God.

To say Mandela will be missed by all will be an understatement.

Hmmn, only God knows what lies ahead of him in judgement, eternal life or death? That's what matters ultimately, 95 years is a drop in the ocean in light of eternity.

when will Nigerians get their freedom from all these corrupt politicians and start the struggle for revolution to be free from poverty.
what our leaders knew best is to loot the country of billions of oil revenue for their self interest .
