News as of 04/07/2013
Former president Nelson Mandela's wife Graça Machel has spoken about her husband's condition, saying he is "sometimes uncomfortable" but is "fine".
Today was quite outside of the hospital, however, I do really think that Mr. Madiba remains in the heart as well as the mind of all people.
Some people stopped and prayed for Mr. Madiba others just went on with their daily routines.
Mr. Madiba is still in a critical but stable condition. I still don't understand how those two words can be used in one positive sentence.
President Jacob Zuma also paid a visit to Mr. Madiba.
According to some Mr. Madiba may pass away, but his legacy will never die, and i fully agree on that statement. Everything he did throughout his life was for everyone else but himself. He is the most unselfish person I have ever come across.
The 1995 World Cup winning Springbok captain Francois Pienaar also paid tribute to former president Nelson Mandela, whom has played his role, according to Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini.
The ANC woman league as well as the SA council of churches also went to pray for Mr. Madiba. Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane also joined the group, who were singing in the street.
Now this really saddens me: Doctors treating Nelson Mandela said he was in a "permanent vegetative state" and advised his family to turn off his life support machine. It can never be easy for any person to make that decision, a life changing decision, a decision between life and death. I really hold Mr. Madiba's family in my thought and prayers as I know I will never be able to make that decision. I saw an article just now on someone saying that Mr. Madiba who is old and had his full life should be taken off life support, as he only takes up space and if a young child who has its full life ahead of them needs a bed or a ventilator machine, they could much rather use it. Who the hell do you think you are to make that sort of remarks/opinions, what ever you call it. Who are you to decide who lives and who dies? Who are you to decide that one persons life is valued more that another persons? You are an absolute disgrace. In my opinion everyone deserves a fair fighting chance in life. Yes, Mr. Madiba is on life support, and yes he might be in a critical condition, but who are you to think that you know that he might still make a miraculous recovery? Miracles are possible. They do happen. I just really hope you go read your pathetic little article again and realise what you said.!
