Mandela etc 

By Izeth Hussain-December 20, 2013, 9:33 pm

A colossus has passed away, the mourning has been worldwide and so have been the encomiums, and it has to be expected according to established form that after some time there will be a process of debunking to show that the colossus really had clay feet. The debunking process has already begun in Sri Lanka with some comments in our State media. That is meet and proper because we all know that if Mandela had been a Sri Lankan – of a few years ago – he would have been taken away in a white van. So there is something more than a little ironic in our President solemnly participating in the funerary rites in South Africa.
