FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Many South Africans have been offended by the sense of anticipation of the
much-loved statesman’s death.
So great is the national affection for the country’s first black president
that any perceived lack of respect for his dignity is taken extremely
seriously.
The recent revelation that two international news agencies – Associated Press
and Reuters – had installed television cameras on top of telegraph poles in
Nelson Mandela’s home village of Qunu provoked fury locally, despite the
fact that the cameras were turned off and would only be activated when the
funeral started.
Nelson
Mandela’s grandson Mandla has also attracted criticism for ordering
that the bodies of three of the former president’s children be exhumed from
their home village of Qunu and reburied in the nearby hamlet of Mvezo where
he is a chief.
Mandla’s motive, say his critics – some of whom are within the Mandela family
itself – is that the former president will also be buried in Mvezo:
something that is sure to act as a lure for big-spending tourists.
Mandla Mandela’s personal life has also been criticised. While polygamy is
legal in South African tribal law, he has been accused of breaching a
court’s order to marry his second and third wives while divorce proceedings
against the first are still active.
Nelson Mandela, now 93, has previously been treated for prostate cancer,
tuberculosis and damage to his eyes.
Last year he was hospitalised with an acute respiratory infection and last
month he went to hospital for a stomach complaint.
The statesman’s close friend Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has described
him as being “frail”.
The churchman said: “We want him to remain forever, but you know …
anything can happen.”
Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison before leading South Africa into its
first fully democratic election, which he won, in 1994.
Such is his significance to the country that during last year’s health scare,
South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), had to
urge people not to panic.
Using the former president’s clan name Madiba, an ANC spokesman said at the
time: “We call on all South Africans to remain calm regarding the
hospitalisation of Madiba and not press any panic buttons.”
Nelson Mandela is currently receiving round the clock, home-based medical care
at his home in Johannesburg.
