Today marks exactly 9 years since his passing. Feels like yesterday. Man I loved this man so so much I remember when I was very young I would take his pictures from the drum magazine and keep them in my flip file. He is one of the biggest inspirations in my life. Definitely the best of a very few people who walked this earth. What a man. I love and miss you so much. You'll forever be in our hearts. I will do my utmost best to have a golden heart like yours. Rest in perfect peace and power. Tata Madiba.🕊♥️✨

He was none of these things. He murdered innocent people to get power and his tribe the Xhosa were not indigenous to SA his ANC have violently murdered over 250000 people since they took power as young as 6 months wrapped in news paper solvent poured over them and set on fire alive. He was never poor violence was his game anyone who did not agree were necklaced tyres put over them and set on fire Whiney started that. Food stores bombed, churches bombed, schools burned, buses and trains bombed and they told the people AIDS was not a disease and turned down the drugs that could save them, wasn’t until his son died from it that they admitted it was a disease. Children were being raped and murdered because the people were told it was a cure for AIDS once it was recognised as a disease and he did nothing to educate his people that this was nonsense. I was there and had 3 family murdered and know of others so forgive me He was no hero. He was a terrorist.

MANDELA was also a NATURAL BOXER, which probably HAD ALOT to do with his CHARACTER on a whole.

He was a man of great resolve, but that's only part of why he survived prison and lead SA to a greater future. By his own admission, the level of restraint, and seemingly low level of bitterness he exhibited was something he was forced to learn while imprisoned. He, imo quite intelligently, realized that some degree of restraint was necessary in order for his resolve and determination to mean anything. Mandela truly is an inspiration to all who loathe oppression and desire freedom and justice. He was truly a Great.

@themudpit6213 жыл бұрын
@@donward2674 Actually, a lot has changed. More and more it's the African people who own the mines, due to the SA governments Mining Charters. "The previous 2002 Mining Charter stipulated that 26% of mine ownership in South Africa must be held by black people, which was achieved by 2014 with coal mining now seeing the largest percentage of black ownership at 47.2%, whereas diamond mining is lowest at the minimum 26%." Mining Technology 21 Aug 2017 (Last Updated March 6th, 2018 14.03) The 2017 Charter had higher mandated minimums. Important to note, however, that just because 30% is 'black' owned, doesn't mean the other 70% is 'white' owned. The mining industry is global, and the hungriest nation in the world for resources is China.

In a world that praises Nelson Mandela's name, I dare to question the pedestal, his legacy's claim. A controversial perspective, let the truth unfold, For even icons have flaws, stories left untold. A symbol of resistance, Mandela stood tall, A champion of justice, revered by all. But amidst the accolades, let's not forget, The complexities and shadows, we must not neglect. Imprisoned for his cause, he paid a heavy price, But did his actions truly suffice? A leader of the ANC, a fighter for freedom, Yet some claim his methods strayed from wisdom. The armed struggle, a choice he made, But violence and bloodshed, a dark cascade. In the fight against apartheid's reign, Did Mandela's tactics cause more pain? His association with communism, a divisive path, Raising questions of ideology's aftermath. While he preached reconciliation, forgiveness, and peace, Did his political alliances truly cease? And in the aftermath, the legacy he left, A nation divided, lingering traces of theft. Corruption and inequality, still entrenched, While Mandela's name remains gloriously clenched. The promises made, the dreams left unfulfilled, For many, the struggle continues still. Was his leadership enough to heal the land, Or merely a fleeting glimpse of hope in the sand? I question not his resilience or sacrifice, But the totality of his impact, a matter to scrutinize. For heroes are human, with flaws and complexities, And Mandela's legacy, shrouded in discrepancies. So let us reflect on history's pages, With critical eyes, unclouded by praises. In the realm of Mandela's story untold, The truth we seek, both the bright and the bold.

The high hopes people had about the new South Africa, it's so sad that the opposite turned out to be the case. The people's hopes were shattered, matters worse his successors plummeted the South African economy even further through corruption. It's so unfortunate, the many years of struggle went to waste, people lost their lives so that a few blacks and their friends can lead a life of opulence

Lol! Exactly! SA is just doing so well since Mandela lifted the chains of burden and “helped” his “people”. Oh Mandela, the brave, please fight for your people more and more. 🙃
