The 1st Thread For 12/12/13: The Schizophrenic Sign Language Interpreter?

Image
This story just gets more and more incongruous and unbelievably shocking . I hope for Thamsanqa Jantjle's case that he is not lying about this, and I don't think he would go on TV and have it be broadcasted to the rest of the world that he has a serious condition, only to be idiotically mendacious. The story will continue to unfold and thank the Holy Trinity that no one was harmed in this case of schizophrenia, if true. And I hope that if Jantjle is a schizophrenic that he does not get a disturbing level of harassment and threats.

In the love for Mandela, it's the group Stetsasonic with their 1986 tremendous song, "A.F.R.I.C.A."  Great words from Dave D as always on black music history and how hip-hop focused on ending apartheid from February 2010. It's so great, and more at TWD forthcoming, stay tuned. For 95 years,Earth received a gift in Nelson Mandela. For this holiday season, he has received the finest gift any human can receive: Heaven — Andrew Jerell Jones (@sluggahjells) December 5, 2013

The Break For 6/11/10: What A Blown For Nelson Mandela.............What A Blow

Image
Oh, just a devastating one folks : Nelson Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter was killed in a car crash on the way home from a concert in Soweto on the eve of the World Cup, his office said Friday. The Nelson Mandela Foundation said Zenani Mandela died in a one-car accident and no one else was injured. No other details on the crash were immediately available. Zenani, who celebrated her 13th birthday June 9, was one of the anti-apartheid icon's nine great-grandchildren. "The family has asked for privacy as they mourn this tragedy," the foundation said in a statement. Man, what a blow, what a blow, what a blow. The Whole Delivery, always sending blessings to the Mandela family, send one for sure now. Oh what horrible news.

This great man is 91 today Nelson Mandela's fans celebrated the anti-apartheid icon's 91st birthday Saturday by emulating him with good deeds, reading to the blind, distributing blankets to the homeless or refurbishing homes for AIDS orphans. Give him love everyone. And there's always good news amongst the bad news.
