Nelson Mandela

Recommended Posts

Interesting article if it's true. Meeting yesterday ended with family going to visit Mandela and a team was seen digging a grave near the family honestead. http://www.timeslive...lders-to-decide

 

EDIT: Apparently, a "well informed" source for this SA newspaper (dunno how reliable it is) is claiming that the clan is currently in a heated argument about where to bury Madiba. http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/eastern-cape/mandela-burial-spot-row-1.1537555#.UcqKJKyNAnM

I think Mr. Mandela is being kept alive until President Obama can get to the hospital to see him, then the family will turn off a the life support.

On Life support

 

His family want to keep him alive for a few more days in the hopes 1 of the other people on the deathlist this year die first so he doesn't end up unlucky number 7.

Sounds like there have been some interesting developments whilst I have been o n holidays. If his family have gathered to make decisions about his health, perhaps they have been weighing up whether or not to pull the plug on his life support...

If he's no longer around it is surely a matter of days / hours now

I have to agree. From some the news sources I have read, given his age and the critical condition he is in, his prospects are not very good.

It'd be funny if he carks it on Sunday evening and his death, like his release from prison, leads to newsflashes knocking "Antiques Roadshow" off the air for.

Mandela's daughter says he is "very critical" and "anything is imminent".

Aren't we all aware that he is an old man about to die? Don't we all watch/listen to the news?

 

Isn't it therefore unnecessary to quote and link to every utterance from every family member/public figure?

 

(Rhetorical questions - just getting fed up of seeing lots of posts which say nothing new).
