If he managed to get over the death of his granddaughter last year, I'm pretty sure he can cope with deaths of elderly friends.

Given that he is 93, he is probably used to the idea of his contemporaries dying...

That's what keeps some of them going, I reckon .... outlasting other people. :unsure:

Agreed. Although none dare think they can outlast Dunn.

Wycleff Jean announced Nelson Mandela as dead on Twitter 35 minutes ago. 33 minutes ago he said "Whoops, my bad." Trending topic on Twitter right now? "Mandela dead." Good work everyone.

Good little prank there, almost as good as his candidacy for the Haitian Presidency :smiley_f:

According to our African tradition an old man, or any old person must come back home and rest and wait for his last day.

Please, have respect for this great man as he prepares for his final journey.

Many of us do. Just because we like to speculate on people's likely demises don't mean we don't have respect

Nelson Mandela is "hale and hearty", according to the South African governent.

Quote

“The former president is in good health, good spirits and enjoying the festive season at his home in Qunu in the Eastern Cape,’’

What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow;
What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.


Christina Rossetti

I wouldn't take SA's government's words as gospel.

I dropped Mandela from my DDP team, by reason of disappointing effort. Did I make a mistake?

I don't think so. I have a feeling that he will still be alive come the end of 2012.
