Mid 90s I think.

I suppose the news will gloss over his early years.

It's sad because an old man has died and I sympathise with his family. That's about all I can say about it.

A Legend - RIP

Age 95 I think. Sadly for South Africa, not really been matched by any of the leaders to have come after him so far.

Wonder what the number of rips will be in this thread compared to Paul Walkers.

RIP, sadly the youth of today won't have a clue who he was.

An inspirational person.
May his life be celebrated.

They will but they won't know what he did in his earlier years.

RIP
He did a lot of good in his later years, it's just a shame that the country has gone down the drain big time since then.
