The 15th of December last year I stated in these blogs that, to my mind Mr. Nelson Mandela was dead. Now, almost 2 months later, nothing has been heard or seen publicly of this world famous person, he has totally disappeared from the newspapers, about the tele I don’t know but I believe he is not mentioned there either. From his wife, Graca Machel, a discreet lady, not a word and, unbelievably, from his ex-wife, Winnie, not a discreet lady, not even a yell, gunshot or murmur.
Of course, any official statement about the ex-president from the South African government can be disregarded but soon one of their professional liars will have to come up with a story.
Did Mr. Mandela express his disgust with the actual president and therefore had to be silenced?
