South Africa's first black president and anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela has died, South Africa's president says.

Mr Mandela, 95, led South Africa's transition from white-minority rule in the 1990s, after 27 years in prison.

He had been receiving intense home-based medical care for a lung infection after three months in hospital.

RIP

Didn't really know who he was, but that kind of sucks all the same.

**RagedBerserker** · 12-5-2013, 04:05 PM

Damn, at least he lived a full and most likely fulfilling life.

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

...seriously wtf man

L.B.D.D · 12-5-2013, 04:22 PM

chill out everyone, all dark skinned people look and sound the same to arkuski
we must respect his inability to tell apart people (besides his mom/dad cause they make dinner for him)

i can't blame him, i would think arkuski looks the same as the white guy next door (i havent seem him in like 2 months )

**Tarrik** · 12-5-2013, 04:22 PM

Man that's sad news. I was hoping he was going to get better, atleast he lived a long life..Even if he was sick towards the end.

**_Fluttershy_** · 12-5-2013, 04:33 PM

What a total inspiration to a myriad of people. I admire how he fought a morally and ethically wrong system and he changed the world for better. He not only affected South African affairs, he affected global affairs and I admire all that he has done for the world. He will be sorely missed, a politician of the highest note and a social activist of the highest note.

I was really starting to think he would hit 97 at least... Oh well. May he Rest in Paradise.

When people hit 90, it's always a real sketchy time.

Makes me fear for Stan Lee. D:

What the...

Toxixixixix the Hedgehog, stop these horrible comments!

But yeah, reaching the ripe age of 95 is impressive. I don't know much about the guy to be honest except that he was pretty iconic for a movement he helped make, but my condolences go out to him.

**Hateandhatred** · 12-5-2013, 05:37 PM

Rip man of righteousness.

Even as a younger man he still had that passion fueling his eyes.

No worries. Stan's an Asgardian. He still has thousands of years to go.

I'm just going to disregard your posts from now on...

Anyhow, rest in peace Mr. Mandela, you truly had the greatest run in life and no one will ever take that away from you.
