Nelson Mandela has battled health issues in the last several months, but it has been confirmed by multiple reports that the former President of South Africa has passed away.
It was announced late Thursday by South African President Jacob Zuma that Mandela had fallen to his illness, and he passed away on his deathbed at his boyhood homeĀ in the nation’s Eastern Cape Province as loved ones surrounded him. He was 95 years old.
The entire staff offers our condolences to Mandela’s loved ones and he’s in our thoughts and prayers.
There will never be another.
A legend he will always be. RIP.

RIP Nelson Mandela my hero, I learned about Mr. Mandela 45 yrs. ago and
I feel blessed to have seen him in person when he was released from prison in 1990 when he came to NYC. I never thought I would get to see this man not in my life time. Thank You Mr. Mandela for your contribution to man kind.
