Mr Nelson Mandela
have you been sleeping since 1994???? here is some info to catch u up
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (IPA ) (born July 18, 1918) was the first President of South Africa to be elected in fully-representative democratic elections. Before his presidency he was a prominent anti-apartheid activist and leader of the African National Congress, and had spent 27 years in prison for his involvement in underground armed resistance activities.
Through his 27-year imprisonment, much of it spent in a cell on Robben Island, Mandela became the most widely known figure in the struggle against South African apartheid. Although the apartheid regime and nations sympathetic to it considered him and the ANC to be communists and terrorists, he had only embarked on armed struggle as a last resort: he had remained steadfastly committed to non-violence until increasing repression and violence from the state convinced him that non-violence against apartheid had achieved nothing and could not succeed.[1] The switch in policy to that of reconciliation, which Mandela pursued upon his release in 1990, facilitated a peaceful transition to fully-representative democracy in South Africa.
Having received over a hundred awards over four decades, Mandela is currently a celebrated elder statesman who continues to voice his opinion on topical issues. He has become a cultural icon of freedom and equality comparable with Mahatma Gandhi to many around the world. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honorary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan. The title has come to be synonymous with Nelson Mandela. Many South Africans also refer to him reverently as 'mkhulu' (grandfather).

Nelson Mandela!!!!!!!!
And now alot of South Africans are leaving the country even though they don't really want to, me included. But to bring up your kids where they won't find jobs and therefor not be able to bring up a family is just not fair.

Nelson Mandela
He was in jail for 28 years, then he came out and a few years later he became president.
At the moment Thabo Mbeki is president. After him will a racist, a rapist, a corrupt and a sick man become President named Zuma, then you can wave South Africa bye bye!
