Nelson Mandela’s grandsons start social network for change

Nelson Mandela’s grandsons start social network for change | memeburn: "Two of Nelson Mandela’s grandsons have set up a social network in honour of their grandfather.
Mandela.is will reportedly allow its users, called citizens, to connect, share inspirational photos, stories and articles in an attempt to mirror the statesman’s positive impact on the world.
According to a report by press agency SAPA, the site is being built by the company behind Lady Gaga’s social network littlemonsters.com.
“It’s a social network around the inspiration my grandfather gave to the world,” said Ndaba Mandela. “People can share what Mandela inspired them to do, to give back to their communities.”
According to Ndaba, he and his cousin Kweku decided to launch the site so that they would have a chance to celebrate their grandfather while he was still alive. The 95-year-old global icon’s health has slipped over the past few months, with a recurring lung infection keeping him in hospital since early June."
