Nelson Mandela death: South Africa and world mourn

I found a very good article on the life of Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela, a true idol and hero of South Africa has passed away at age 95. Many people have been gathering all week and will continue to gather in Johannesburg and Soweto to mourn their former leaders death. Many have been seen dancing, paying tribute and singing in front Mandela's former home.


Mandela did a lot of things help make the world a better place. One of the biggest things he did was him and administration replaced the racist white- minority regime that had enforced segregation on black and white people. This policy was known as apartheid. He than went on to become one of the world's most respected statesmen. Along with this came hardships, like spending time in prison for treason, leaving the country without a passport, and charged with sabotage. He came out of it as a true inspiration. This article is very good I recommend it for anyone who wants to learn more about the fascinating life of Nelson Mandela. The pictures are from the article and their is also a video on remembering the life of Mandela.
