Symbol of resistance to racial segregation, the first president of post-apartheid South Africa, a controversial impeller exit to the regime that privileged knowledge of the truth about justice, Nelson Mandela -internado nigella lawson bread bin last week in serious condition, after 94 years it was turning over time a national icon unquestioned. Also a brand. And one of the few sources of legitimacy before the social base of a government that invokes the legacy of the leader but deepened social gap between the black population itself. Last Saturday at noon our friend Verne Harris was invited to dinner at our house in Pretoria. It was one of those lunches in which one can hardly talk because the guest continues to meet your mobile phone. Verne is the director of the Memory Center Mandela Foundation and the information about the state of health of South African icon did not stop ringing your Blackberry. There was something of deja vu that scene: many other evening or lunchtime sitting in the garden in the hope that after the sound of his cell phone came the news that could change the face of South Africa and the world. nigella lawson bread bin Verne everything was quiet. He is convinced that his country is no time to live a reality post-Mandela, only in the collective nigella lawson bread bin imagination that does not yet accept. Much less still in the African nigella lawson bread bin National Congress (ANC), aware that, in large measure, their legitimacy as a political organization is tied to the figure who was the first black president of South Africa. Despite the resistance there are indications that the population has begun to accept non immortality of their leader, and in the press on Sunday they mentioned several voices calling "let go Madiba", you can leave with dignity, "God releases it from their sufferings "or similar expressions. The Sunday Times titled "Time to be let go." The South African President Jacob Zuma, however, resists. "Our president Madiba must recover quickly because we want to be with us for a long time," he said. Who makes statements about the health status of Mandela was a fact loaded with meaning. It is part, in fact, the battle so long time ago is a disputed territory: the legacy of Mandela. Verne says however nigella lawson bread bin that this legacy nigella lawson bread bin is not given, because the legacies are received but are built. The battle therefore is who, how and for whose benefit, creates and recreates that legacy. The actors most visible of the dispute nigella lawson bread bin are the family, nigella lawson bread bin the foundation and the party, nigella lawson bread bin but they are far from the only ones. The level of public opinion the game is gaining the battle. And the party, in addition, for many years, is not distinguished from the government. From what official statements about the state of health of Mandela out of the office of President of South Africa. The ANC is surely what you need to live Mandela. The clearest example nigella lawson bread bin of what could be called a desperation to keep the image of the game inexorably linked to the historical leader was the visit in April this year in favor of a delegation led by Jacob Zuma to the house of Mandela in Johannesburg there were numerous photos, filming and transmission to the country and the world a president only alert and almost no movement supporting your hand on the current president smiling and eager to be captured by all cameras possible. There was enoxo family, criticism of the opposition, and discomfort that found expression in various media relating to the use of an ineligible huge figure for the interests of a party whose public image comes to deteriorate progressively. Because, despite the conviction that from the memory center of the foundation has regarding this is already a post-Mandela South Africa, man alive is a figure that can take money, fame and votes. The fight followed by removing nigella lawson bread bin them after their departure will be excruciating, no doubt. nigella lawson bread bin In May became a public legal battle that started two of the daughters of Mandela, Makaziwe and Zenani, to access funds from the sale of paintings by his father.
