That's the truth- That Winnie is still relatively sexually active,considerably, and you can't tell me she left Mandela without reason if it has nothing to do with bedroom things...

Unless you were born in 1994 and work for government. If you work for a private company, you should feel it and experience it every day. Your boss would be a white man Who has only Standard 5 and you having a degree. It will take time for all to Be normalised

'Madiba, we are now burying you': Nelson Mandela is laid to rest in his childhood home after four hour service and full tribal burial rites including guests drinking blood of slaughtered ox

South Africa's first black president is laid to rest at his ancestral home in Qunu on tenth day of national mourning
Thousands lined the streets to watch his funeral cortège as it made its way to the tiny hamlet in Eastern Cape
The anti-apartheid icon died at his Johannesburg home on December 5 at the age of 95 after long battle with illness
The South African flag draped on his coffin was handed to his widow Graca before body was lowered into the ground
His Xhosa tribe will have slaughtered ox and offered guests blood - although dignitaries probably offered cooked meat
Mourners included Prince Charles, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson and Idris Elber
Current president Jacob Zuma said Mandela was 'a fountain of wisdom, a pillar of strength and a beacon of hope'
'Today marks the end of extraordinary journey that began 95 years ago, the long walk to freedom has ended', he said
Nandi Mandela said: 'Go well, Madiba. Go well to the land of our ancestors, you have run your race'
Funeral overruns by 105 minutes, meaning the tribal tradition that members are buried at noon was missed
Seats were filled during the state funeral service as soldiers were moved in to occupy empty chairs .






Nelson Mandela has today been buried in the remote village where the anti-apartheid icon grew up after his four-hour state funeral this morning.

South Africa's first black President died in his Johannesburg home on December 5, at the age of 95 after a long battle with illness and he was laid to rest in his grave in Qunu in Eastern Cape province.

Troops lined the route up to the hillside as Mandela was carried on a gun carriage to the private burial on his family’s estate.

As his body was placed on the grave the South African flag on the coffin was removed and handed to Mandela's widow Graca Machel, who was comforted by his ex-wife Winnie Mandela.

A fly-past then followed accompanied by a 21-gun salute and a solitary trumpeter played the Last Post while his body was lowered into the ground.

As he was buried armed forces Chaplain General Monwabisi Jamangile said: 'Yours was truly a long walk to freedom, and now you have achieved the ultimate freedom, in the bosom of your maker.'

His funeral was also marked by his Xhosa tribe whose elders will have slaughtered an ox to accompany his spirit after burial, while guests would be asked to drink its blood from a communal bowl.

But it is understood dignitaries such as Prince Charles were probably offered the animal's meat to eat instead after it was cooked on an open fire.

Mandela's family also talked to him until he was lowered into the earth and will have said 'Madiba, we are now burying you,' a tradition followed so the souls of the dead know where they are going.

Nmeri17: wtf did this atheist get a Christian memorial service >:
(
Most of us where so disappointed by this christian thing, who the hell is Christ in Africa. Mandela just like all Africans is God. Our religion is our existence.
It was clear that he was not a christian because he believed in forgiveness, love,looking after the poor and vulnerable he believed in serving others and making the world a better place.
All this are not traits you find in the Christians, Christianity is the religion of selfish,heartless,self enriching,self importance,self serving,self glorified religion.That is why your Pastors are so "rich" but will never reach the Mandela status.

I'm less on words to describe uTata uMandela. My theory is "Good will always overpower bad, because Goodwill will always mentor Badness while Badness won't to Goodwill". Lalakahle Madiba, Dlomo, Sophitsho, Ngqolomsila, Yeyem, Velabambhentsele. Aaaaaahhh Dalibhunga.

The amount of racist and negative comments online from racist whites about these great man is mind boggling, any negro that still think whites are their friends needs to have their head examined. Esau never disappoints they were created to play the role of the wicked on earth, but their time is about to be up real soon.

[b][/b]Britain Vows To 'confront'
The ISIS 'menace' After
Killing Of David Haines: The killing of British aid worker David
Haines "will not lead Britain to shirk our
responsibility" to work with allies to take on ISIS,
British Prime Minister David Cameron said
Sunday.
Instead, he said, "it must strengthen our resolve."
Speaking a day after the Islamic terror group
posted a video showing Haines' beheading -- the
latest in a string of such videos -- Cameron
vowed to work with the United States to support
its "direct military action." He also emphasized
that "this is not about British troops on the
ground."
"We have to confront this menace," Cameron
said. "Step by step we must drive back,
dismantle, and ultimately destroy ISIL and what it
stands for." Together with allies, he said, "we will
do so in a calm, deliberate way but with an iron
determination."
The group, which calls itself the Islamic State, is
also known as ISIS and ISIL.
"This organization poses a massive threat to the
entire Middle East," Cameron said, making a
public statement before an emergency meeting of
security and intelligence officials.
The European Union joined Cameron in
condemning Haines' "atrocious
murder" and said it was committed to
fighting terror. For full story click on www.inspillex..comBritain Vows To 'confront'
