Nelson Mandela is the one that will glue me to the television. Castro will be the most interesting in terms of seeing what will happen, along with Osama Bin Laden (I don't think OBL's death will change anything in the Arab world, but if it makes the US chill with the war on terror that would be a pretty big impact.)

Mandela's death will have some serious social impact in South Africa, and therefore southern Sahara Africa. At least that's what most South Africans expect. He's one of the (probably the) main reasons why peace between the races in South Africa has been maintained for so long now.

But then again, most people won't give a rat's ass about SA.

You realize the Saraha is thousands of miles away from SA? Or do you mean everywhere south of the Sahara?

He means everything south. The phrase he meant was "sub-Saharan Africa".
