Mr. Madiba - News as of 28/06/2013 10:44

News as of 28/06/2013 10:44
Mandela is still  critically ill but stable and he still receives a lot of support from people all over the world. One person who attended to him in hospital at an earlier time can clearly remember how much respect he had for himself as well as others. Madiba has an arrangement of notes and flowers on the sidewalk at his home in Houghton.
On a more serious note note a dozen police officers caught a man who flew a remote control helicopter over and around the hospital were Madiba is currently being treated. The helicopter also had a camera so don't tell me this was just coincidence. 
And on a funny note a sea slug was named after him to honour him. According to Marine biologists it is an honour to have aspecies of organism named after you. In 2002, a species of spider, found near Cape Town, was named Singafrotypa Mandela. In the United Kingdom, at the British Institute of Physics at Leeds University, there is a nuclear particle named the "Mandela Particle". In Columbia, there is a tree named after Madiba, while in Singapore the Paravanda Nelson Mandela is an orchid. South Africa has a striking deep red Protea called Madiba. And the list goes on.

Keep holding on Mr. Madiba
