JR976evil 909 Posted September 25, 2013 I'll give him two weeks tops from here... 8th October. I hope you are right (give or take a day or two) because if by some miracle he makes it to the end of the year he will on every DDP (including theme teams) - "I never realised Nelson Mandela appeared in Last of the Summer Wine" Hmmm. Does anyone know if he's been in panto or done any Morris dancing? Apparently he was a regular on the Black and White Minstrel Show 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,547 Posted September 26, 2013 If he doesn't die this year then I'm not touching him in 2014, he's gonna be a Gabor-style corpse kept alive just so people can siphon money/kudos from standing next to his bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted September 27, 2013 In all seriousness there may be a strategy to keep Nelson alive because in some ways as long as he is alive the post apartheid consensus still exists, and South Africa, when compared to many of its neighbours is relatively stable. Jacob Zuma is going to want the country to be prepared to prevent a decline into civil war. Not immediately but over the years following his death. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted October 1, 2013 There is shocking news this morning. Nelson Mandela is dead. What's more he's been dead since june 24 and the SA govt has been covering it up for their own sinister purposes. .That is the startling revelation by one publication today. Read all aboout it here http://guardianlv.co...ly-and-country/ Belive it or not as you please,but it is wierd that there hasn't been one photo or video of Mandela since june...

EGN 121 Posted October 1, 2013 Nelson Mandela is dead. Or, as the article you linked makes very clear indeed, NOT dead. To be clear, being kept alive for nefarious purposes = not dead. Its a fairly cut and dried state of being this whole 'life' thing if one discounts the philosophical and concentrates on the physiological, as i understand the deathlist is in favour of doing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he joins Ariel Sharon as one of the slabbers with vital signs, then. Still think he'll check out before Sharon, and probs in a matter of weeks. Jan 1st or thereafter would be too much to hope for amongst those of us who didn't pick him this year, right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted October 21, 2013 I think he will make 2014 now , how many more times can he go into hospital and fight death though ? I think this last battle took alot out of him and 2014 i expect another hospital trip will happen and that will finish him off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or he will die at home without warning.There can be little doubt that his time left can be counted in months at most.He could go at any time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
