I went to a DTI do once, where he was a speaker. Just me, him and about 10,000 other people. 🙂

Before he came on stage, there was the usual movement of people taking their seats, getting comfortable, chatting away.

There was a middle aged, grey haired bloke on stage, pottering about, organising some papers, adjusting the microphone. No one took any notice of him and the low murmur continued.

When Nelson Mandela walked on, suddenly the atmosphere was electrifying. The grey haired bloke who everyone had been ignoring did the intro - he was John Major - prime minister at that time. Didn't have a ounce of the charisma that Mandela had.

Please excuse my ignorance , could anyone explain what has he done an why is he a good man ! I have never knew about his work all I know is his name and he is something to do with South Africa
 
Dedicated his life so other people would have a better, safer future. Many people these days wouldn't give 10 minutes to help someone else. RIP.

I have listened to more than one S Afrfican white who has said that he was a terrorist and i have also listened to reports from all the usual sources telling how he suffered for the good of the people...........i have no view on the matter as i have no real experience of the man, but it is easy to get carried away with the romance of a story ...........if that story is accurate. He did bring hope to so many in a time of unrest so i think he has earned the right to rest in peace.
