Our CCTV America anchor1 Elaine Reyes has talked with Mandela’s doctor, Michael Plit, about Mandela’s passing, and his memories of the former South African President.
Dr Michael Plit, Mandela's Doctor for 22 year, said, "It’s awful, I feel so unhappy. We were at the funeral and it’s very very unhappy, my heart feels heartbroken. He’s such a remarkable2 man. More than just the individual that I had conversation with. He was a good friend of mine, and a good friend of my family. So it’s very depressing3 in the way.
Elaine Reyes, Washington, "I know that you saw him last a year ago. And he had been in the clinic. Was that really a surprise? Can you talk about your last visit with him?"
Dr Michael Plit, "Yes, it’s very surprise. It was a sudden event and a tragic4 event. I was very sad when the moment when I heard about his death.
Elaine Reyes, "And being there in Johannesburg. Can you describe what you’ve been hearing ans seeing. What’s been there look like in the last few days."
Dr Michael Plit, "Well, there’s nothing really in the last few days, the only thing is announced in a TV and radio. That he had died. It’s just so dad, and my wife and I knew him, and his family and his children extremely well. And you can imagine if very important man, the man who was very close to us. For us it was a great sadness."
Elaine Reyes, "Is there something you saw and maybe other people don’t know. And you know him personally. But how different was he on a personal level than what many of us who saw him on television."
Dr Michael Plit, "I think the man you saw in television was a man who had emotions of unhappiness. Otherwise, he was very much the same as always."
Elaine Reyes, "Thank you for joining us from Johannesburg.
Dr Michael Plit, "It’s being my pleasure to invite me."
