    Jacob Zuma is addressing the South African nation.

    Seems Nelson Mandela has died :(
    He will be remembered as the father of the that country.

    May he Rest In Peace.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I don't think so. There was predictions of major violence in the world cup that amounted to nothing.

    May he rest in peace. He certainly didn't have much of that over the last few years with the amount of high profile legal battles between his family members, and other vultures trying to cash in on his name.

    Just to be a grouch - he died.

    People pass exams; he/she passed his/her exams.

    If you're religious, you can pass from this world to the next.
    If you're spiritual, you can pass to a different dimension.

    But for heaven's sake, use the proper expression.


    RIP anyway.
