    A good innings, especially considering what life threw at him.

    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.
