Just goes to show that every now and then a genuine world leader can have an effect on peopl all over the world.Unlike many other famous wporld leaders his legacy will be of peace and reconcilliation after years of oppression.It could easily have been a racial blood bath,or another Zimbabwe,but to his great credit,he did the right thing.I cannot condone any terrorist act,but i believe that his presidency and "Rainbow" country that it created will be long remembered
