Indeed - His family, friends and loved-ones can and should be proud. :)

Not many leaders like him left in the world.

None too many were around when he was alive, either!

Good call! It's especially true in RSA (where I was born and still have relatives), the ANC seem to have done their level best to dismantle the strong foundation that Mr Mandela almost single-handedly constructed after the fall of Apartheid. The country is rife with corruption and crime. Breaks my heart. :(
