Mr. Mandela, who was 95, served just one term as South Africa’s president and had not been seen in public since 2010, when the nation hosted the soccer World Cup. But his decades in prison and his insistence on forgiveness over vengeance made him a potent symbol of the struggle to end this country’s brutally codified system of racial domination, and of the power of peaceful resolution in even the most intractable conflicts.

From the article there is quite a bit of turmoil going on.

Yet Mr. Mandela’s death comes during a period of deep unease and painful self-examination for South Africa.
