I am sure many of you have hard about the recent hospital visit of Nelson Mandela. I posted this article because Mandela was such a big part of South Africa and what it has to offer. South Africa looks at Mandela as a God, he has done a lot of great things for his country and I wonder what will happen when he eventually kicks the bucket. Will South Africa be any different with him gone? Will any other president be able to live up to the standard he left? He is 94 years old, a nobel peace prize winner and was the first black president of South Africa. Mandela has had his share of medical problems lately and it is just something to keep on top of. I think it is funny that this article talks about him "looking well" while in the hospital, I mean really, who looks well when they are in a hospital?
"Mr Mandela was taken from his home in the rural village of Qunu, in
Eastern Cape province, to hospital in the capital on Saturday. Local media report that the decision to move
him was taken so quickly, some family members and his own foundation
were initially unaware it had happened.
Mr Zuma's office said on Saturday that Mr Mandela was doing
well and that there was "no cause for alarm", but did not give details
about the reasons for his admission. Mr Mandela needs medical attention "from time to time which is consistent with his age," the statement added."
