At this moment, there is some controversy that his death is a hoax. Lots of stories out there.

+1 on all sentiments on this thread, an awesome man however....

He is still alive and in critical but stable condition. I would hope he gets to go home again one more time.

Best,

He is quite a man.

The above reminds me of the the scene and song You've Got to be Carefully Taught from South Pacific.

Tribute Exhaustion
I mean no disrespect by this but this must be one of the longest goodbyes ever.

So many people have said so many complementary things during the last couple of months what will they say when he eventually passes ?

A great man no doubt but can't we leave this guy to die in peace ( or even recover) without reporting on every little event ?

It's become a case of he's not dead yet but here's some footage of somebody visiting.

C'mon, leave him alone eh ?

I was thinking exactly this while reading the news this morning.

This media vigil/death watch that has been going on for the past few weeks is beyond insensitive and poor taste. It has now officially crossed the line into vulturish and macabre.

Nelson Mandela will be missed for sure, but he made a mark of great importance.
I hope they let him go gracefully, instead of forcing him to cling on to life.
