I hope there won't any unrest, they have a hard enough time in SA as it is. But we'll just have to wait and see.
Nelson Mandela is, in my books, one of the 'Greats'. He has left his mark on this world. Only one word comes to mind when I think of him and that is ADMIRATION. Even though he suffered so much, he kept his dignity and self-respect intact. His ideals never faltered. Where would we be today if he had not existed or stood up for what he believed in? The world would be a different place to what it is now, there is no doubt about it.
Only once in a while comes along a person who really makes a difference. He will stand out as being of the same caliber as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa and Churchill. Strong, but dignified people with high ideals, morals and a sense of fairness that were not afraid to stand up for what they knew to be the truth and the only way.
