'A a itapolose' #Mandela

The soft spoken veteran politician Michael Dingake was more direct. “A itapolose. O tshedile. A tsamaye sentle. O lole ntwa e tona mo lefatsheng leno. O gaisa botlhe. Go ne go sena ope yoo neng a dumela gore Apartheid e ka hela mme gompieno ke fa re bua e seyo. Re lebogela bone bagaka b aba tshwanang Mandela jaana” he said, before pausing and then laughing softly. “Nnyaa mme go siame” more thoughtfully.

Most political leaders were not available for comment, due to the late hour the news came in.  Gomolemo Motswaledi was more upbeat.
