Viva Nelson Mandela Viva!

We have to do it at my school tomorrow.

We also have all 1003 kids sign an attendance register and submit it by 10:00.

Also a period of community service must take place tomorrow. However, if this community service disrupts teaching and learning time, it will have to commence after school.

We also have to hold a flag hoisting ceremony and a video of a tribute by Oprah Winfrey should be displayed to the children. After which we must sing the happy birthday ("we love you tata") song to him.

Lucky you ...
I am so glad I don't have to put up with this kinda cr@p! I swear if I had kids and I knew they had to go through all this, I would have taken them to the movies or something rather

Well, we wasted hours and hours in school in brown cadet uniforms, so I guess not much has changed.

From what? I'm actually scared to think what you've raised your kids to believe in.

He built bombs that was used to KILL people. I just want 1 single person to explain to me why to this day this man is glorified? He didn't even end Apartheid, De Klerk did.

Martin Luther King day? Are there any White mortal gods? (inb4 Chuck Norris)

Last year my headmaster asked me to organize something. I told him I thought it was a load of crap ("pot ***" was my exact words) ... he agreed and we did nothing. This year the regional office are checking up on all to schools to do it.

[Pr⊕phet]

But did he actually commit any terrorist acts or was it more foot soldiers?

How convenient.

I give the order for your family to be killed, you would be cool with me, but you'd need to only angry with those who carried it out. Awesome.

That was what the whole truth and reconciliation commission was about, it gave these people a way to get amnesty without actually having to make any actual personal apologies.

I guess we will never truly knew whether nor not the ANC really saved the day or if they were just a tool... like for example to save the stock exchange and keep up the self enrichment machine already set in motion.

honestly dont even think Madiba is in his senses anymore. Last time i seen him on the news, guy looked totally out of it.

I'd agree on that, ANC seems to be just pulling the strings for the madiba in a box

I have a friend that was recently in touch with his family, old Madiba is old, pretty much completely senile. Some people think he is going to live forever, yes he has lasted but time is getting shorter. I'm afraid for when that day comes.

De Klerk only made the announcement. Do you know that PW offered to release Mandela in 1985, but he refused to accept the conditions of that release? I think those who never suffered will ever understand why he is revered. You're probably too young to get it.
