I suspect over the last two weeks he has been skinned and stuffed into some animatronic machine.

look like its time
Nelson Mandela is in 'vegetative state and warring family were advised to turn off life support EIGHT DAYS ago' | Mail Online
Doctors advised Nelson Mandela's family that his life support should be turned off because he was in a 'permanent vegetative state', court documents reveal.
The revelation from members of the former president's family came as part of a family dispute over the graves of three of his children.
Court documents from June 26 said: 'He is in a permanent vegetative state and is assisted in breathing by a life support machine.
'The Mandela family have been advised by the medical practitioners that his life support machine should be switched off.
'Rather than prolonging his suffering, the Mandela family is exploring this option as a very real probability.'

Dead legends are much more effective than living legends. Alive there's always the risk that he'll do or say something stupid.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostNot good. I do wonder what will happen when he goes - I think his presence is a stabilising influence - he represents hope and unity. Hope things don't kick off.

I hope so too. I'm sure the announcement will be managed so that doesn't happen and that's where people like F W de Klerk can help.
