RIP to a great statesman.

RIP to a remarkable man.

I mourn, while also not being able to comprehend what his death means to my wife, in-laws and other South Africans.

There were always fears about what might happen in the country when he died, but those always seemed like fear-mongering from people who seemingly wanted the country to do what it didn't when Mandela took over: Tear apart.

I hope this is real ...

He was elected United States Senator from Kentucky.

RIP.

I can no longer look at photos of him and not think Morgan Freeman, though.
