Sungu,
To be honest with you thura, I'm not shocked by this and I believe that Mandela probably put that condition in his instructions to his family. He did not approve of these 2 and did not want to be associated with them. On Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 9:32 AM, OS <sunoti@yahoo.com> wrote:
--MO,This is a possibility, having fought for freedoms, Mandela would not want his funeral desecrated by characters accused of crimes against humanity.It would be a great paradox that those eulogizing him are people with suspected blood on their hands.Knowing how Mandela is a stickler for principles, he may have just put that in his wish. remember he once refused to alight from his plane on refueling at JKIA going by how Moi was cracking down on opposition. He stayed in the plane for hours while the Moi handlers waited to receive him only to realize they have been snubbed.
He would have wished that they come to his funeral not as leaders of the free world but just ordinary folks.OS

--CouragePlus, since Obama is coming for the funeral, I don't think Obama wants to be seen on the same platform with these 2 right now.Mark,If that is true then I suppose it's a sad day for Kenya indeed. To be excluded from an occasion such as this is the ultimate indictment of the duo. It means that an icon like Mandela did not approve of their running. Mandela preferred that they clear their names first before running for any office.

There is too much talk doing the rounds in social media especially on tweets and FB that Mandelas wife, Graca, has issued a statement to the effect that our cornered twins banned from attending Mandelas funeral, and that, according to the statement, was the exact wish of the late hero!!Still searching for the authenticity of those reports, and if anyone established any facts, please spread the word.Here below is one of the many tweets going rounds....Kimathi Wachiuri (@Kimathi__) tweeted at 11:48 AM on Sun, Dec 08, 2013:
BOOM! > According to Mandela's wife Graca, Pres. Uhuru & D Pres. Ruto should not attend Mandela's funeral. She says that was Mandela's wish
