RIP - i went to Robben Island a few years ago, pretty shocking to hear what happe3ned in the day. Amazing man.
Today is a very sad day here in South Africa. He helped shaped our nation, he brought everybody together and created a rainbow nation. RIP Madiba
RIP. Nelson Mandela had an excellent innings, though, considering that he spent some time on Death Row in one of the most notorious prisons in South Africa during Apartheid.
R.I.P. Nelson Mandela I admit, I don't know as much as I should about him as schools in the US don't teach nearly enough about other countries. I do admire him for what he's been through and being the kind of person we were taught he was both before and after his time in prison.
