[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 579973, member: 40658"] This is the worst post you have ever written! It leaves a very bad taste in my mouth!! Let me explain what has been going on as it seems that the international media is reporting it the wrong way as usual. He's 95 years old. He has been in hospital for 21 days. This last week has been touch and go as he went from a stable condition to critical. On Wednesday his family had a meeting in his hometown of Qunu. But the meeting wasn't about him, it was about his 2 grandchildren that has died last year, and the process of moving their graves to his hometown village where the other Mandela-families are buried. Yesterday his condition got better, but there is no real change visible. I think everyone should just relax. The reason why he gets this much attention is because he has had such a major impact on so many people's lives. Blacks, Whites, Coloureds, Indians, Asians, Gays, Straight, Islam, Christian, etc. for many he is a father figure, and many see him as a sort of architect of the modern Democracy. (Bear in mind that he wasn't alone, he had help of former president FW De Klerk). He is a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and has had many accomplishments. Let the people pay tribute, let the people drag on this extended illness and report on every small detail. It's better than hearing about North Korea!!! Let them indulge in this Great Man's life. And yoe, please grow up! [/QUOTE]
