R. I. P. Madiba, as he enters the land of peace, "His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." St. Matthew 25:21

Sadly he has past, yet he has left the best behind.

Thank you, Reformed Bully.
