Mr. Madiba - News as of 20/07/2013

News as of 20-07-2013

It appears to me that the interest on Mr. Madiba is dying down more and more with each passing day, as I have read that very few International TV broadcasters are still interested on reporting about Mr. Madiba. Yes over the past two (2) months the focus on Mr. Madiba as well as his family has been quite a important focus, however, he is an idol in many peoples lives and there are still people concerned about him as well as his health. As recently Oscar Pistorius made news and that is all the world was going on about still there were interest in various other aspects of life and I think that is the same in this situation, not everything is one hundred present completely focused on him, people are still focusing on what is important and happening in this world/life. So I think that he deserves the bit of media coverage that is still all about him, his health as well as his legacy. Members of Zimbabwe's opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), who are living in South Africa wished former president Nelson Mandela well. "We are in solidarity with South Africans wishing Mandela well." The group of about 30, sang and prayed outside the Medi-Clinic Heart hospital where Mandela was receiving treatment for a recurring lung infection. They brought flowers and placards wishing for Mandela's speedy recovery. "We still need him around. His ideologies and his teachings are very good for an African man like me," he said. The support outside the hospital are also starting to die down, however, there are still some supporting Madiba as well  as his family in this time.
