Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is also going to the Mandela's funeral, accompanied by four former Brazilians Heads of State: Presidents Sarney, Melo, Cardoso and Lula da Silva.

On December 5th, Haiti's National palace released a note stating that "a Haitian delegation will travel to Johannesburg to participate in the funeral of Mandela" but it is not yet confirmed if Martelly will be a part of that delegation.

If we did not have the chance to observe the path of Gandhi, but with the last breath of wisdom, only from ninety to two thousand thirteen, it finally shows us that Mandela has such acting humbly with his own political enemies as well, he aslo forgave them and shared freely a power granted without hesitation, and especially after all he left the control just at his first term which could be multiple.

This, my God ! if there were some exploits that I wasn't hoping to see in my lifetime, the credo of the votes of two thousand nine, in the United States, and the trajectories of Mandela, are included.
