95 lived a wild life

Damn! I am blessed to be able to be alive throughout his legacy and tell (i.e. pass on) his story. Great great Man. Not many in this world could overcome and succeed like he did. 27 years of his life in jail, and then show no bitterness when he rose to power! A legend who will be remembered through many generations, especially in South Africa. RIP my hero.

Sadly those that have followed are tearing the country apart as they increasingly veer toward Mugabe-esque policies. We know how well that worked out.

It feels like the end of an era, one of the greatest humans the world has ever seen.

My uncle had the honor of meeting him several times-we have one of NM's gifts to him in our LR. Great man.
