Today is a very sad day and somewhat scary. Never the world was so insecure indeed. Enkosi Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, ndiyabulela Madiba, bulela Tata.
"I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
Nelson Mandela
