He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind ( so that did take courage)
And often criticised the ANC as well as the government.
I remember him once saying that his fave pudding was jelly and custard ( my man!)smile
He will be much mourned in SA and in other countries too.

He was an example to us all and left a great legacy behind. It would be lovely if some of our current leaders would follow his example. A man of compassion, courage and honesty.

A man with compassion and grace.

Sad news, though what a life he lived. He always seemed so jolly.

He was always so gracious - it's the end of an era.

A gentle man. An example to us all.

A long, well lived life. His faith and humanity will be missed

A sad loss.
He always spoke out against discrimination.
If you every have to think what race, gender or colour a person is before deciding how you treat that person then you should really think again.

Any death is sad, but he had a long, well lived life. RIP.

An absolutely beautiful soul sensible kind forgiving articulate and fun
I saw him in U.K. London with Nelson Mandela it was magic
