TYLER Perry: There were only three people that I wanted to meet in life, Nelson Mandela was one of them. What a life, what a journey, what a man. Thank you for passing this way! God bless your resting soul!

Chris Rock: Nelson Mandela the closes thing to Jesus Christ.

Jennifer Hudson: The Mandela family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Mandela fought for freedoms and equality that changed the face of South Africa and the world. We can all learn from his extraordinary journey. One of the great honours of my life was to be invited to Nelson Mandela’s home, spend private time and get to know him. He was everything you’ve ever heard and more — humble and unscathed by bitterness. And he always loved to tell a good joke. Being in his presence was like sitting with grace and majesty at the same time. He will always be my hero. His life was a gift to us all.

Black Coffee: #RIP Superman the legendary Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

DJ S’bu Online: “Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people & his country, he can rest in peace” #NelsonMandela (sic).

50 Cent: RIP NELSON MANDELA. Humbled I got to meet u (sic).

Lira: Our nation loses its greatest hero. Rest in Peace Tata Nelson Mandela. Thank you so much for all that you did for all of us. May you rest peacefully (sic).

Liquideep: Somehow though we might all know that death is to strike, it always shocks us when it does. RIP Tata Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

Euphonik DJ: We take it for granted, but without Mandela our country would still not be free! #RIP#SadDay (sic).
