Wow, it must be a burden to carry such arrogance on your shoulders. Mandela is more than twice your own age, yet he is the one you expect to "get off his arse". Since you're so concerned with Zimbabwe and Africa, what has your contribution been, other than to criticise a man who fought and still stands for freedom and is a legend in his own right. South Africa and Africa has its problems, but so does France, Greece and the rest of the world. Except here in the 3rd world, we like to burn tyres and steal cars, not so much like the 1st world, where you burn 100's of cars and showrooms down. You speak of horrendous events in our country, but you only need to read the UK newspapers, to know things are really no better - it is just easier for people like yourself to pretend that violence, rape, child abuse only happens elsewhere. Maybe you should open your eyes to the mess in your own continent before you feel entitled to dispose your negative thoughts about Africa, particularly South Africa.
