The Times Editorial board has composed an editorial about the legacy of Mandela and the effect of his passing on South Africa and what its going to be like. The editorial board consists of various journalists who write about a broad variety of topics. They are very credible and know a lot about their fields.
The purpose of this editorial was to idolize Mandela and to explain the legacy that he left on South Africa and to persuade the present leaders of South Africa to continue Mandela's legacy. This editorial was written in context of Mandela's death. It was a tragedy for many because Mandela helped the fall of apartheid peacefully and he stuck to his principles. He created many changes and reforms and transformed South Africa. His passing was really a huge tragedy.
This editorial calls for the leaders for South Africa to tend to the economical and racial problems going on. The editors want to call for a change in the crime rate and HIV infections. The editors just want to bring it to attention that Mandela has done a tremendous amount of work and the leaders of South Africa should continue that.
The editors use a lot of rhetorics such as comparisons, when they compare Mandela to other powerful leaders. The diction that they use is very powerful because all of the words praise Mandela. This editorial really appeals to emotions. The editorial also provides a lot of statistics.
Overall, I think that this editorial really did achieve it's purpose because it really showed people that something needs to be done now that Mandela has passed, it's leaders still need to continue making South Africa what he wanted it to be. This editorial was not only written for the people of the world, but for the African leaders who should continue Mandela's vision.
