This is not a joking matter ppl. This brave lady deserves all our prayers. If you are true human being that's the least you can offer her. When Nelson Mandela was in prison it is the prayer of his ppl that kept him strong and alive. In case you are wondering my screen name Invictus is inspired by Alemayehu G. Mariam's "Birtukan, Invictus! (Unconquered)" published on Huntington Post. I have shared this on this forum before and I will share it again. You all should check out Clint Eastwood's new movie Evictus, a true story of how newly elected President Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) in the early 1990's joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite his country that was griped by racial tension and headed for certain civil war. The poem 'INVICTUS' by William Ernest Henley is from which Nelson Mandela drew strength while in prison for 27 years. - Betty
