    The problem now for South Africa is where does it go now. Their spiritual leader is now gone, though he was only president for one term he inspired the people and to some extent still does. But next year when the dust settles what then? There are stories emerging that J.Zuma is a bit of a thieving dictator, similar to many African nations. Will the legacy left my Mandela be lost now he is gone? I fear, but hope not, that the great South African dream may be short lived.

    That question was asked by someone else here on site,i cannot answer that as its so hard to tell how the present Government will now react after all the Hype of Mandela,s Huge gathering at the Johannesburg Stadium,there were so many overseas Dignitaries and some good speeches about his Life.
    I am in the hope that this may sway the present Government to rethink its policies again,and hopefully go the way that Mandela did,it would be a great move in the right direction ,as already South Africa is slowly but surely becoming a better Nation,there is still a lot of troubles between various groups I know,but with time and the correct efforts by all,South Africa could yet become the envy of the Modern World!
    But time will tell,and as said I can only hope for the best in the future!
    It would really break my Heart to see that beautiful Country again go the wrong way,and if not held together in the correct manner,could again be in line for a Bloody Civil War! But that is the worst scenario ,and God forbid it never happens!
    May the Lord look down on my dear SA and guide it ,this I truly pray for!
    Thanks for reading!
    Cheers
