As much as i would like to see SA's issues solved, i stopped looking toward Mandela to solve them 9yrs ago when he retired from office. I dont know of any other ex-leader who is still looked upon to solve todays issues in his Country. Imagine pointing the finger at Ronald Regan for the recent breakdown in the American Sub-Prime market.

I am not looking for him to solve problems, nor would I expect him to....However I am looking to him to use is current status (enhanced because he is retired) to speak out about certain things and speak up for the dispossed of Azania.
Instead he as agreed to his own censorship and taken up the cause of HIV/AIDS.
I have to say, that I sometimes get the impression that it is the way he is interviewed that is the problem. I have yet to see someone interview him and ask the right questions....
Would love to interview him myself to ask some hard hitting questions.
My first would be, What do you really think of Mbeki?
The title of this thread should have been; The World Celebrates NM's Birthday While....
Maybe it is the media's fault, but we of the diaspora are not tuned in to what is going on in Azania....
