From CNN today:

"After Mandela, what next? -- South Africa's future..."

'Scuze me, Mandela has been absent from SA politics for, like, forever. You're a bit late to be concerned about "after-Mandela", CNN.

(Yes, yes, I knew what they probably meant - even if they probably didn't. But this is CNN, man!)

Sounds like a legitimate discussion though. If it's a discussion (don't know if CNN do these things any more).

Ooh they do! If you call placing 4 faces across the screen and making them talk simultaneously over each other, "a discussion".

One guy said, "The struggle in South Africa to create a more just society still continues. So I hope Mandela does not get too domesticated and sanitized".
