His legacy lives on in all of us – it is in our hands now.





“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” — Nelson Mandela

We know all South Africans and indeed the world join us in this profound sense of loss and sadness on the death of our beloved Founder, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

Our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences are with the Mandela Family and friends at this time.

Let us stand together now and in the days ahead, and do what needs to be done to honour with dignity Tata Madiba. We know you share with many of us the same passionate wish to see Nelson Mandela’s legacy being kept alive and made available to the world.

His legacy lives on in all of us – it is in our hands now.

Hamba kahle Madiba.

Sadly it just sunk away before you were home. I mourned its passing. The foundation is beautiful.

There is a video that I may post. Sadly, it will probably sink. Again it is about his connection to children. Damn if some of the pictures are not exact images of Obama. Eerily similar.

the similarity between Madiba and Obama in looks and deeds, she.

I'll keep an eye out for the vid in case you decide to post it.

I seemed to have pissed off a lot of people here today and have been thrown in the dog house but such is life.

I digress, sorry about that.

You have yet to piss me off, and I don't really see that happening anytime in the future.

I will always talk to you~
