Guest jon Posted March 24, 2011 He should have died on the gallows decades ago, the man was a terrorist who advocated violent struggle, he is no Gandhi He may have mellowed in his old age but to me he is nothing more than the black Gerry Adams Even in presidency he oversaw the massive spread of AIDS and did not sack Zuma when Zuma said taking a shower prevents AIDS, he was also a communist and someone who was close friends with the likes of Mugabe, Saddam Hussein and others I for one will not shed a single tear, PW Botha/Vorster should have had him swinging from the gallows like any other terrorist talk about being on the wrong side of history! him or you? Nelson Mandela was a terrorist - no question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Article emphasizes this is the first time he's been seen "publicly" since last summer's FIFA World Cup. Don't think he looks too well at all. Saw a recent clip on tv of him shaking hands with someone. After the shaking was completed his right arm from the elbow downwards whipped back across his chest. Seems to have lost motor co-ordination of this limb. Not too long to go now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notaguest 16 Posted June 2, 2011 Albertina Sisulu ,widow of ANC legend Walter Sisulu and freedom fighter in her own right, has died at 92.Virtually all of Mandelas old friends and colleagues from the anti apartheid days are gone now.I have a feeling he will be joining them soon though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,101 Posted June 11, 2011 In the clearest possibl.e sign of how seriously ill he must be Nelson Mandela failed to attend the funeral of Albertina Sisulu today. It doesn't mean he's ill.

Maybe he didn't like him and didn't want to go to his funeral. Also when one is as old and frail as Mandela they often don't have the energy for such things, especially if there is a lot of travel involved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notaguest 16 Posted June 12, 2011 First of all, Albertina Sisulu was a woman not a man. Secondly, Nelson and Albertina were the best of friends, esp. after the death of her husband. Know what I mean. Anyway, if it's true that he didn't attend because he's too upset, it will be interesting to see what effect it will have on his health. Often elderly people die shortly after the death of a close friend or spouse, as you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a very strong feeling that Mandela will depart 'this mortal coil' very soon too. Mainly because he is 92 and frail...hardly a breathtaking prediction.

msc 18,439 Posted June 14, 2011 People had that feeling about Foot for ages. He was 97, bound to go at some point. (The same can be said for Claude Levi-Strauss!) The only news about Mandela's health as of now is that he is a frail 93 year old, and that isn't news in itself. Like how Christopher Lees appearance at the BAFTAs doesn't mean he is going to drop dead this year, it just meant he is nearly 90! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
