A very, very sad day for the world. A chill went up my spine when the CNN app went off-we all know why Zuma will be speaking. RIP to THE FF of our age.

Once again, the Atlas Forum proves to be my number one source of info. This isn't even a news on the French Google news yet.

Not to sound rude, but

1. You were beaten to it.
2. You would have noticed #1 if you had attempted to post it in the board it actually belongs in.

Still, RIP FF.

He was blessed with a long and purposeful life. Who else can claim such an enormous world impact even after being locked up for 27 years?? That's what impresses the most. RIP

I can still remember him being released, stepping out, and me thinking, "They are afraid of him?"  My first impressions were correct.

Dear God, I've just logged in and I find this. Sometimes I hate this forum, I mean, this is not the news that I want to read.

It had to happen one of these days, but it still seems unbelievable.

May this great man rest in peace.

To brighten the mood just a little, Nelson Mandela becomes first politician to be missed.

Well played.

RIP to one of the world's greatest statesmen.
Zuma's pre-announcement antics at the microphone were quite distracting (although quite amusing).

Also, it's great that he outlived the apartheid allies Reagan and Thatcher.
