glrnet Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 I visited the prison on Robben Island where he was incarcerated a couple of years ago, a very moving experience. What an amazing life, what an amazing man, what an amazing spirit. Quote
davedutch Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 He did a lot of good and was an inspirational leader, he will be missed. R.I.P. Quote
Bockaaarck Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) The passing of a man who will be forever remembered for his stoic determination to see a society free and equal for all South Africans and indeed a world society that was fair and equal. A man who truly defined the very essence of statesmanship and reconciliation and who will be remembered as one of the greatest human beings that has ever lived. You're long walk is over now Madiba, rest in peace Edited December 6, 2013 by Bockaaarck 1 Quote
Dblock Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 RIP. Changed the world and your country. Impressive for one man. Quote
350zedd Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 He sacrificed his freedom for over 27 years and would have sacrificed his life also for a united South Africa free from apartheid. A man without malice or hatred he moved mountains by his spirit of reconciliation and forgiveness. Virtues rarely found in todays politicians. An inspiration to us all Rest in Peace 1 Quote
Richf Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Let's not forget the man was a terrorist as well ! He wasn't always a peaceful man Quote
aidan Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Let's not forget the man was a terrorist as well ! He wasn't always a peaceful man Have to agree with Richf - he did some great things in his life (but a few wrong ones early on). One mans terrorist is another freedom fighter??? Good innings though - 95?? Quote
