RIP Nelson Mandela

[Flash Harry]

Yep, I know it's not a musically related news story, but I'm saddened by his death, inevitable though it was.

One man who trully made a difference to the world.

Sad for the South African Nation and for his family and those of us who watched his struggle.

RIP Nelson Mandela.

[Ferryman]

RIP. Truly an inspiration.

It's a pity more politicians don't follow his example. I heard one of the UK politicians saying on the radio how inspirational he was and how he showed that reconciliation and forgiveness was the way forward. The interviewer then said "well why is UK politics so confrontational and aggressive", to which of course he had no answer. C'mon politicians around the world, shape up, be more like Mandela!

He was a great man.

I remember meeting some of the ANC guys in London back in the 1980s.  They were really dignified and humble, just like Mandela.

Absolutely, an inspiration - RIP.
