Today a group of senior citizens from Mamelodi came to the hospital to pay their respects to Mr. Madiba. They even sang songs. Tiger woods who recently won the US masters can still recall his first meeting with Mr. Madiba and according to him it was something out of this world. Tiger Woods and his father was invited to Mr. Madiba's house and in his own words :it still gives me chills". According to Tiger Woods, when he and his dad walked in to the room, it was a complete different atmosphere. And on a alst note: Defending British Open champion and South African sporting legend Ernie Els, also paid tribute to Mandela at Muirfield and said it would be "wonderful" if a South African player could win this week and give his sports-mad nation a much-needed morale boost. "Obviously sport has been a key factor in bringing South Africa together into a democratic place and state," Els said on Monday. "And President Mandela played such a big part in that also back in the early '90s, and the World Cup and soccer, African Nations Cup."
