Nelson Mandela 'has stopped talking'

The Sunday Times, a South African newspaper, quoted an unnamed person close to the Mandela family as saying: "He has not been talking ... he is not looking good. It's clear that something is troubling him."

I fear the events that might unfold following his death.

I know what you mean but I would hope that enough stability has been gained to forestall problems.

I would hope so too, I don't see the same stability you speak about though.

I don't see the death of Nelson Mandela as a trigger event sufficient to change the status quo - there's been time enough to provide checks for the like of Julius Malema.

Don't know where I heard it or the truth behind it, but the plan was for an uprising and mass slaying of all whites in SA, on the event of Mandela's death.

Didn't make sense to me when I heard it, doesn't make any sense now, I still fear the man's passing, just in case.

He's feeling better and talking.

The current situation in South Africa vis a vis crime, corruption, poverty etc has reached such a state, that the death of Madiba is unlikely to make matters any worse than they are now.

Is that an Ava Gardner quote ?
