HAPPY BIRTHDAY NELSON MANDELA "BLOW MORE CANDLES!!"

SOWETO: South Africa's schoolchildren sang happy birthday to Nelson Mandela as he turned 94 on Wednesday, a day when he asks the world to honour his legacy by performing community service.

 

The nation's 12 million schoolchildren began their day with a special birthday song, ringing with the line: "We love you father". "As we celebrate his birthday, we remember that he fought for us in the struggle. The struggle was to fight apartheid," said 12-year-old Kgaugelo Masunhloane at Batsogile primary school in Soweto. "He spent 27 years in prison. 

We would want to say thank you Madiba, and we wish you happy birthday, and many more years to come." Mandela, known fondly by his clan name Madiba, was unlikely to make any public appearances, but rather to spend a quiet day with his family in his village home of Qunu, where he has retired from public life. His granddaughter Ndileka Mandela told the Sowetan newspaper that his family would celebrate with a traditional meal of tripe and samp, a corn dish popular in his region of the Eastern Cape. 

"We will probably have food like samp and tripe, his favourite food," she told the paper. "The big lunch will be at 4:00 pm (1400 GMT) where we will present him with a cake."

UK Government Accepts Abuse Took Place in Mau Mau.

The British government accepts that colonial forces in Kenya tortured and abused detainees during the Mau Mau rebellion, the High Court has heard.

Three victims of torture during Kenya's 1950s Mau Mau uprising have given evidence to the high court in their bid to win damages.

Last year, the elderly Kenyans won a ruling from Mr Justice McCombe that they had "arguable cases in law", but they are now facing the British government's claim that the actions were brought outside the legal time limit.

 In the years before independence people were beaten, their land was stolen, women were raped, men were castrated and their children were killed”
