South Africa's Nelson Mandela dies

[KhornateMonkey]

South Africa's first black president and anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela has died, South Africa's president says.

Mr Mandela, 95, led South Africa's transition from white-minority rule in the 1990s, after 27 years in prison.

He had been receiving intense home-based medical care for a lung infection after three months in hospital.

In a statement on South African national TV, Mr Zuma said Mr Mandela had "departed" and was at peace.

This man was a true inspiration to not only the people he led, but the people he helped during his life.
If he had a goal he would do everything he could to achieve the goal and more just to prove a point.
He was not afraid to stand up for the less fortunate and oppose the apartheid governments to prove a point and bring equal and fair rights to all South African citizens.

I am sure he has touched many more peoples hearts all around the world too with how he was and how he changed things;
always so humble in his statements, even when in prison. That's a true leader for you.

It's unfortunate that he has passed away but it's for the best, he has done so much for the nation and world and now he may rest in peace with the knowledge that he has fulfilled his dreams of a united country with equal rights for all no matter the race.

A true inspiration from a real leader.

Rest in peace
Nelson Mandela: 18/7/1918 - 5/12/2013
