    No source yet, and I'm sure some people will not believe me(especially me) but I have a close friend that works for a Flight Agency in South Africa and they're already making arrangements for the funeral.

    You should here something in the next few hours.

    RIP

    Please be more respectful and use the proper SJ format for announcing obituaries.

    Header should read:

    Nelson Mandela RIP

    21 tears in captivity
    You're so blind that you cannot see
    You're so deaf that you cannot hear him
    You're so dumb that you cannot speak

    Free Nelson Mandela

    God, I loved that song.

    If true, RIP to an incredible man

    The Nelson Mandela Foundation said on Wednesday that Mandela was in Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg for tests but that his health was not in jeopardy.

    If you're 92, I think your health is always in jeopardy.

    Usually it takes Twitter to be this premature and incorrect.

    Or, in the case of a United States Congressperson, every single major mainstream news outlet.

    It was falsely reported about a week ago that he had died.

    Would it be possible to wait until there's actual evidence that he died? Maybe a question mark in the thread title?
