Mandela Still Critical but ‘Much Better,’ Zuma Says (just a minute or so ago from a rss feed so it's either really new news or just a rumor)

Pretty sure that's riding the coattails of the 3 hour old BBC article and Zuma simply hasn't released new information.

The only thing I can see on twitter is people recycling some article from a website called guardianlv.com (can't access it through the firewall, apparently that site is the bads).

So, maybe?

Nobody has edited his wikipedia page to suggest that he's died, that tends to be a fairly reliable sign  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

I'll be sad when this happens.  I'll be interested to see what politicians come out to say he was their hero... especially the ones such as David Cameron who was in the group who made those "Kill Mandela" posters.  Bastard.  God I hate him.

My Twitter feeds have been breathlessly announcing he just died for over two weeks. So I think at this point he gets the superhero death rule: he's not dead until there's a body.

Heh, I'm both way too far from SAFR and not involved in the political stuff to be of any use here.

Besides, I wouldn't be the one to let people know first - I like being employed. Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?
