Rest In Peace Mandela, Says Rafa Nadal
Paris – French Open champion, Rafa Nadal has apologised for falsely tweeting the death of Nelson Mandela to his 4.5 million followers.
The Telegraph’s website reports that the Spaniard tweeted:
“(sic)Today we have lost one of the most important and relevant people in our world. Rest in peace #NelsonMandela.”
His comments were retweeted 2 380 times.
Nadal later deleted his tweet upon finding out the real story and later tweeted:
“(sic) I had incorrect information and for now #NelsonMandela has not left us, I hope that he is with us for much longer; his actions will be with us for ever.”
The 94-year-old former state President was admitted to a Pretoria hospital in the early hours of Saturday morning, suffering from a recurring lung infection and is receiving intensive care.
Doctors say that he is in a serious but stable condition.
His family are at his bedside, with his ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela arriving at the hospital on Monday afternoon.
Even CNN’s Piers Morgan posted false information of Mandela’s death, tweeting that he had passed away in his sleep overnight.

These mis-informations do happen, and one good thing about Rafa Nadal is he was quick to apologise and even wished Madikizela many more days! That’s what a gentleman does!

BUT ZAMBIANS, ESPECIALLY THIS TRIBE, THEY LIKE INSULTING TOO MUCH, WHAT DO YOU FIND TO CELEBRATE IN SUCH THINGS, MISULA YENU, FREEDOM FIGHTERS DID THE BEST FOR YOU FOOLS NOT TO APPRECIATE. NO ONE AMONG YOU IDIOTS CAN STAND WHAT MADELA STOOD FOR FOOLS. WE WILL BE WAITING FOR THE TRUTH. ALL ABOVE FOOLS MULI BANA BA MAHULE FYE.

foolish arguments….i agree with El Hassan Ashad. Any reasonable person cannot pick up a quarrel over this and start swearing at each other but retards. its very irritating and annoying. Remember the name Mandela is a symbol of peace and reconcilition not all this nonsense.
