The death of former South African President, Nelson Mandela, seems to have left Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, world acclaimed wordsmith, short of words.

He appears to be so shell-shocked and devastated that he has only succeeded in crafting a 15-word tribute to Mr. Mandela.

“The soul of Africa has departed, and there is nothing miraculous left in the world,” the Nobel Laureate said in a rare tribute published on saharareporters.com Friday morning.

Mr. Mandela passed away Thursday night at 95, throwing the entire world into unprecedented mourning.
