This morning started off like any other – checking my phone to see what would be happening during the day.
Imagine my shock – missed calls, dozens of BBM’s and Whatsapp’s and even more Tweets, all bearing the same earth-shattering news:
Nelson Mandela had passed away.
I have never personally had the privilege to meet Tata Mandela, but I can wager a good amount that not many on this planet don’t know who he is or haven’t been indirectly touched by his legacy in some small way.
Today is a sad one indeed.
Around the world, tributes are pouring in. Shock, devastation, grief… His loss is bone-deep.
Many of us are wondering the same thing – what happens to South Africa now? Will Nelson Mandela’s loss signify the end of peace?
I think this comment sums it up more accurately:
@Tam_CS We are not white South Africans we are not black South Africans #WEareSOUTHAFRICANS #Bornfreerainbownation
Rest in Peace Tata Madiba. Your legacy will live on in our hearts as well as this country. Hamba kahle.
