Tutu played a critical role during the struggle and respected around the whole.
He is an icon and I love the fact that he is praying for Zuma’s down fall. It makes
sense what he is saying, rather than the President who hired thugs to lecture us
on Mandela. I really do not blame for saying he will be embarrassed to tell
people around the world that Zuma is the president. He even warned us against
Shower. We need more like Tutu. Report Abuse

People should stop fantasying and living in the castle in the sky world. Though
Mandela is not god, but history cannot be erased either. During estimation or
focusting you need history to maintain and improve the future. Respecting
the qualities of the son of soil is not making him god but we should rather
appreciate and learn from him, I don’t see anything wrong unless one is trying
so hard to hide reality. It is rather ridiculous to me that a proper individual would
think that Mandela sold us out, herewith is the history lesson Cyril Ramaphosa
sold us out, he was heading the negotiations when Mandela was in Cuba.
Mandela said, I quote “The struggle is not over, but it continues”. It is up to
each and every individual to play a critical role to ensure that every black
person is freed from mental slavery economically and especially mentally. It
is sad that we have Shower running the country like a headless chicken and seeking
another term with dirty tricks, we are doomed. The loyalist and tribalist in the
government and ANC lack Madiba’s qualities, therefore those in Government, ANC
branches and rather ANC NEC need to “love themselves and love another and
love our country”, by voting Zuma out and delivering services which are crucial to
the poorest of the poor. Long live to Africa.

Yes, check wikipedia.org for definition of "Stockholm Syndrome"! Tell us if it doesn't describe Nelson Mandela!!
At heart and even in action, people tend to take on the attributes of whom they judge and what they will not forgive. Unforgiveness and bitterness act like blinders so people cannot see or admit what they are doing is harmful to themselves and others.
Do not give up hope. Choose to forgive and love...ask for help when this seems beyond your capabilities. My time in South Africa taught me much about human nature and the power of forgiveness in my own life.
