A reliable source has revealed that Nelson Mandela’s life support machine was shut down and he has died in hospital aged 94. According to the source, the iconic Mandela died last night while he was still in hospital for the recurring lung infection that left him in critical condition for several days.

Sad news, although not surprising.

The condition of South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela has improved overnight, President Jacob Zuma said Thursday, as the eyes of the nation remain fixed on his progress.

Zuma, whose statement came after he visited Mandela in a hospital in Pretoria, said Mandela's medical team told him the former president "remains critical but is now stable."

"I canceled my visit to Mozambique today so that I can see him and confer with the doctors. He is much better today than he was when I saw him last night," Zuma said.

Earlier, Mandela's oldest daughter said that although her father is critically ill, he opens his eyes and responds to touch.

I just came back from Africa a couple of weeks back and his health was the topic of much discussion while I was there.  The southern half of that continent is going to shut down for a week when he passes. 

 

 

They love that man like nothing Ive ever seen before.

Mandela is my generation's Martin Luther King... a great man who never gave up on his beliefs or his country, even when that country treated him worse than any human should be. He is a world-changer and a social stimulus unlike any other we've ever seen, and I doubt seriously we'll ever be gifted with a presence quite like his again.

 

All life passes eventually, but I sincerely hope he continues to recover. I'm not quite sure the world is ready to lose Mandela yet.

    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
    • The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit. 
    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
