Statue of Nelson Mandela will be unveiled

[Necuno]

I have great respect for Mandela and it's nice that people are willing to go to such lengths to commemorate him, but really? How many million rands does this statue cost? Would Mandela really have wanted a statue, or instead preferred that money go to his charity to feed house and feed hungry children?

The man was a great man, perhaps the best South Africa has ever or will ever see, but he wasn't a god.

Wonder if the artist was told to make it Rio Like:
