Even
after the South African Government moved the Intensive Care Unit to
Nelson Mandela’s house and turned Mandela’s room to an ICU, still, the
stubborn cold hands of death snatched the ‘Madiba’ from the hands of the
best of the best health professionals, and the loving hands of his
people.
Though his exit didn’t come as a shock,
because his health had been on the downward slope for some time, we are
grieving, for we have lost the world’s greatest peace loving man. He
never paid back those people that subjected him to 9,869 days of untold
hardship in appalling conditions just for asking for what was rightfully
his and his people. Even though he doesn’t need “do or die” politics
to rule for second term because he was the favourite, still, he
voluntarily relinquished his position as a president.
Madiba, the perfect gentleman, can rest
now, knowing that his incomparable legacy will forever live on. The
whole world will miss him.
