What a life, and legacy. He was 95. It seemed like he would just live forever, hard to believe he's gone.

Indeed one of the dominant people of the last 100 years and a credit to his nation . Here's hoping the great work since his release holds together.

We went to our local South African restaurant tonight. Staff members were in tears talking about how he changed their lives.

Amazing life and legacy, how rarely the world gets to experience such leadership. The amnesty hearings and procedures when he first became president ... he knew so much about what it takes to begin a healing process.

I just learned he remained on the US terrorist watch list - until 2008! Until that time, he had to get special dispensation from our secretary of state to visit the US.
