Nobel Peace Prize winner and former president of South Africa recently underwent surgery for abdominal pain. The whereabouts and specific reason for the surgery are unknown, but it has been reported that the 94 year old is currently in good shape and faces no immediate health risks. Although Mr. Mandela no longer plays a physical role in the South African government, he symbolizes change and equality in a country that unfortunately has not changed much economically since apartheid. Some fear that civil unrest and a fight for a change of government will come with the death of Madiba. Lets hope that this country, that has already suffered, will find a peaceful solution to these economic and social problems.
