With all the respect one genuinely feels for what Mandela achieved in his lifetime, there is now a stampede by politicians from all over the world to attend his funeral !
Mandela deserves respect but alas did not get it when he was fighting for the equality of Blacks in South Africa, or when he was in prison !
Now almost all Politicians of note, from the past or the present, even known Statesmen or hopeful "underlings", who have never even met him or who never helped him, are coming to his "official" funeral !
It is normal that a country wants to be represented on an occasion like this. However, is it normal that the taxpayers reimburse everyone's expenses just because he feels that he must be "seen" ?
