Peace be with you

Nelson Mandela is almost 100 years old, why can South Africa not let him go?

If you have already lived for 93 years, how many more years would you like to stick around for? My answer would be: not many.

I am sure that by the age of 93 you have lived a full life, especially a man like Madiba, who has managed to shape a country of disrepute into a country of democracy and respect. He is a hero to so many people, he gave many South Africans a freedom, they have never known.

I respect a man of his stature! He is South Africa’s hero.

However, it is time for South Africa to let him free again. Let’s not be afraid of what the future holds without him, rather, let us have faith that his legacy will live on and that South Africa will grow in his imagine.

  1. I think the reason why South Africans can't let go of him is because they don't know what life is like and would be like without him. You are so right though, we should have faith in his legacy :)Viva Mandiba haha

  2. I love this article, it is well written and to the point, I agree with what Kouthar says, as to why South Africa cant let Madiba go.

  3. Hashtag TRUTH. This country needs to let this man go because slowly but surely he is seeing all his efforts go to waste and really just being destroyed. The country and people he knew back then are no longer here. He needs to die in peace, just the way he entered the world.
