Nelson Mandela passed away yesterday at the age of 95. As South African president said in his tribute, the country has lost one of its greatest sons. As it happens whenever world renowned statesmen pass away, media is filled with news items, biographical excepts etc. about Mr Mandela. South African Broadcasting Corporation TV channel has come with special coverage about him. Martin Luther King Jr, and Nelson Mandela are well known to have had their inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi. Nelson Mandela and F W de klerk (South African president prior to Mr Mandela) shared the 1993 Nobel prize for peace.
