Just hearing this now on the news. Sad day; great man.

Why not another one too.

"Ordinary Love" by U2 a song inspired by Nelson Mandela.


Must read autobiography, The Long Walk to Freedom.
I also enjoyed this movie with Morgan Freeman as Mandela, Invictus (2009).

You are right Odin, I have been watching this news now since supper time and he was so loved, and how many people could be put into prison for 26 years and come out with no bitterness.
I think everyone will miss him.

RIP Nelson Mandela, you will be missed.

R.I.P Sir.

Sad that he had to come to his end. He was a great influence on the whole world.

Been on this binge of late and David's new polygon preset helped with this render.

RIP

RIP

From a boxer, to a rebel fighter, to a prisoner, to a President.
I'd say a very full life. A great man and he will be missed by many.

He was also married three times.

gimp chat was the first place i heard it - i did a quick browsing of the page yesterday and read this thread before i had heard any news. really sad, mandela set a good example for the leaders of the world that they haven't been too good at following and we need more people who dare to think and act like him. and i really hope his family can keep from fighting a public war over the right over his remains!
