Former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela died in his home in Johannesburg. The former South African leader has been ill for a long time and was discharged from a Pretoria hospital in September after spending seven months where he was been treated for Lung infection.
President Zuma who announced the death of Madiba had this to say...
“Nelson Mandela, 95, passed away at his home a short while ago. While the late President’s health had been in steady decline for a number of years, it is still difficult to come to terms with the fact that he is no longer with us.May his soul RIP!!!
“It is impossible to put into words the impact that Mandela has had on the world. He showed that peaceful resistance, even in the midst of the most terrible circumstances one could possibly imagine, is and should be possible. He could have been bitter and call for retaliation against his and his peoples oppressors, but he insisted on a government of inclusion and reconciliation. Somehow, some way, he succeeded in bringing his people along with him.
“The world lost a giant today. One of those few people that is bigger than life and he will be remembered for many years to come. May he rest in peace.”
