South Africans Worry About Mandela and His Legacy
South
Africans reacted with concern Sunday when they learned that Nelson Mandela's
condition had worsened to critical, and while some said they hope the former
president and national hero recovers, they also said they are tired of the
circus surrounding his illness.
"He's
old, he's lived a great life, they should just let him go," said Ronelle
Du Toit, 27, branch administrator at a property company in Johannesburg . "Stop anticipating and
asking for prayers to keep him alive. He's 94 – how many people live to
94?"
