Nelson Mandela bows out at 95

Nelson Mandela, South Africa first black president has finally joined the royal and the
commoners alike in heaven. The most loved
African president will surely be missed and the
world in its entirety will mourn the man who
touched so many lives in his lifetime. He’s
indeed, a hero to blacks and whites.
The former president battled health issues in
recent months, including a recurring lung
infection that led to numerous hospitalisations.
He was pronounced mischievously dead more
than three times until he finally bowed to
death today.
"He is now resting. He is now at peace," Zuma
said. "Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our
people have lost a father." Rest in peace
Madiba!
Meanwhile, president Obama, who said the deceased was one of the countless millions whom he drew inspiration from has sent his
condolences.
“He gave me a sense of what human beings can
do when they're guided by their hopes instead
of by their fears. We have lost one of the most
influential, courageous and profoundly good
human beings that any of us will share time
with," President Obama remembers the late
icon.
