Death of Nelson Mandela

[XZA]

Nelson Mandela, the revered statesman who emerged from prison after 27 years to lead South Africa out of decades of apartheid, has died, South African President Jacob Zuma announced late Thursday.
Mandela was 95.
"He is now resting. He is now at peace," Zuma said. "Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father."
"What made Nelson Mandela great was precisely what made him human," the president said in his late-night address. "We saw in him what we seek in ourselves."
Mandela will have a state funeral. Zuma ordered all flags in the nation to be flown at half-staff from Friday through that funeral.
Mandela, a former president, battled health issues in recent months, including a recurring lung infection that led to numerous hospitalizations.
With advancing age and bouts of illness, Mandela retreated to a quiet life at his boyhood home in the nation's Eastern Cape Province, where he said he was most at peace.
Despite rare public appearances, he held a special place in the consciousness of the nation and the world.

Wow. This was unexpected. I knew he had health problems and it was only a matter of time, but for it to happen so abruptly...

Rest In Peace, Mr. Mandela. You've more than earned it, through your actions for your fellow human beings.

The story of Nelson Mandela is common knowledge. Look him up, and google Apartheid in South Africa while you're at it.

It's not common knowledge to me. I had no idea who he was either.
