Release Nelson Mandela


It has been a month since I was last in Soweto and still Nelson Mandela is kept alive in hospital and still his house in Soweto is behind bars and still there are TV platforms along Vilakazi ready for the worse and still people are bringing well wishes to both this barred house and his home in Houghton. This time round the ANC has put but banners up and down Vilakazi Street as if is them who are making Madeba proud.

It has still been a long walk for Madeba since those words "comrades and fellow South Africans, I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom. I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you the people" Get well Tata,you are a shinning light to all in this country.
