At first when I heard the news I did not believe it. The
President confirmed his death.
Nelson Mandela has died at the age 95, South African President
Jacob Zuma announced Thursday December 5 2013. Mandela guided South Africa from the
shackles of apartheid to multi-racial democracy, as an icon of peace and
reconciliation who came to embody the struggle for justice around the world.
Imprisoned for nearly three decades for his fight against white minority rule,
Mandela emerged determined to use his prestige and charisma to bring down
apartheid while avoiding a civil war.
may his big soul rest in peace! My heart goes to his family and all South Africans.
President Jacob Zuma address the nation.
