Pray For Madiba

[kloofnek]

May I ask all AB`s to pray for Nelson Mandela(Madiba),he is the greatest thing that happened to my country.Pray that he can be with us a little longer...even if just a little.

Thank You

I hope his life ends peacefully and without pain, whenever that time comes.

A wish from me that his remaining time with us is easy,and that his passing is gentle-whenever it comes.

for forgiving his gaolers - he certainly deserves a prayer.

Looking at the collapsed economies surrounding South Africa,
it looks as tho ' they need them.

His wife got mixed up with a few wrong doings but we dont need to bring her into this thread.

"He's a great man and famous for having taking his name from the tower blocks in OFAH. God bless him, mange tout mange tout. "

Could someone please explain what AlwaysConfused meant when they said
"God bless him, mange tout mange tout. "

The mange tout part is what I don't understand. I Googled mange tout, but, it being used in this context didn't make sense to me. Well I don't understand...

no....i don't pray for anyone perhaps you should have asked just the religious ones to.

OFAH is Only Fools and Horses where Del boy etc lived in Nelson Mandela house. mange tout was one of those misappropriate things Del used to say, bit of a catchphrase.
I hope Mandela himself has a peaceful ending or recovery but his memory will live on, it's not going to die with him.
