    We have too many Nelson Mandel threads. This is the shortest one. Presently, an older thread from five months ago is circulating and so is a what did Mandela mean to you. To be arbitrary, perhaps the OP can repost on one of those threads. Otherwise, the forum will have too many.

    Nelson Mandela "married a nurse, Evelyn Ntoko Mase, and they had four children, including a daughter

    who died at 9 months. But the demands of his politics kep him from his family. Compound the strain

    was his wife's joining the Jehovah's witnesses, a sect that abjures any participation in politics. The marriage

    grew cold and ended with abruptness." The New York Times Internatonal Friday, December 6, 2013.
