I like and love that, you know people loves and like the old man and they do not even know what to do for him, but to this present of lions this was the best present and most wonderful one he got. They could have been taken to Pretoria zoo so that we also who likes Tata can go and have a look on them, I have never saw Tata live and wish to can and touch him while still alive and kicking and if that can not happen I will regret my life till I die, I love the old man more than any thing in this world and wish my dream to see him can happen soon and because I am just a normal poor man do not have that trust that I will end up seeing Papa live and have at least one word or two with him.

for me the less said about the rare lions the better...the Umvezo Traditional Council, why they don't improve the lives of the ordinary people of Umvezo as their gift to Tata Madiba?

How much was spent to buy the rare lions, how much was spent to transport them to JHB, how much was spent by the Council Members to fly to JHB to presesnt them to uTata...that money...no matter how little you might argue it was...it could have done a lot for the people of Umvezo, and Im sure uTata would have even been happier with that!

@ KWAMASHU- You remember in the bible when this other woman pore the perfume on Jesus legs? Judas said something Like' why him, that perfume is expensive can be sold and make profit- same here. the present is good for u Tata how much does it cost is none of our business the issue IS he deserve it klar broer.
