Nelson Mandela interviewed by Neil Mitchell - 2000

[@4uMrlebo]

Mr Mandela, you are a true leader. No words can even begin to describe what you & the other leaders did for our country (South Africa). What a great legacy you left while fighting for your people

[@nengovhelaalpheus481]

Lebogang Radebe

[@petergreen5337]

❤agreed

[@matto6195]

The greatest human being to ever walk the earth. RIP Tata. We all love you

[@Sherazadeization]

I get humungous goose bumps whenever I listen to one of Tata Madiba's speeches...He is such a brilliant man...! We have so much to learn from him and people like him!

[@lushakirio]

Belittling I find some of the questions posed, Yet with such tranquility and unbated eloquence he responds. Thank You Mandela papa... May God welcome you to His gates and may you praise Him forever for making you such a masterpiece.... your Memory will live on Far beyond our Years and generations. Love you Tata.

[@leeannvdb]

When I read his Rivonia Trial speech of '63 I was in tears every time I heard him say 'if need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die" I wondered who is he really, CHOSEN and BORN FOR THIS. No anger, no hatred, yet all life stolen from him, but stil, no hate, no anger. WHO IS HE?

[@PRmoustache88]

Lee-Ann Van Der Byl Yeah, he pleaded guilty to acts of violence on 156 counts. Then he gave 4 hour speech on the history of oppression in South Africa. The ANC has had a history of murdering "Uncle Toms." I am not going to call him some kind of saint. To make statues of him is no different than making a statue of Lenin. The ANC only replaced one tyrannical government with its own. If Mandela had been convicted of the same in in the UK in 1963, he would have been hanged by the neck. He deserved 3 decades in prison.

[@petergreen5337]

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

I read the whole Long Walk in 2009. I was 25 years old. Best part is that I was reading when I was staying in Orlando.Soweto. I was reading about houses that I used to walk past everyday. It was real.

[@misstinapa9065]

Thank you Mr Nelson Mandela!! You're a great leader! A GIFT! 💚💚💚💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🌎🌎🌎

[@MsNairobi]

I wish more leaders would watch this and listen to the greatness of this man....and being African, I would stress, Especially African leaders...I wish they would watch this humble greatness.....RIP Tata Madiba...

[@samstone8079]

Nordic Nationalist Please don't confuse employment with exploitation. Most of the "jobs" that black people undertook were those that no white men would agree to do. We still have black people working in white owned and controlled mines for R120/$12 per day. Go and work as a driller in a Mine in SA and tell me if you think that that's employment. I'm sure you wouldn't last a month. The avg salary for blacks is R56 000 p/m compared to R160 000 p/m for whites. This is because although you gave up political power you fucks still control SA's economy. Blame the white owned companies for unemployment and not the ANC government.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yes!

[@MultiWalrus1]

MsNairobi I've written a blog post about Mandela and the recent outbreak of anti-immigrant violence. I'd be interested to know what you think. www.earthlyinjustice.com/

[@NellieKAdaba]

I heard about the anti-immigrant violence in South Africa in the news, that's sad.

[@MultiWalrus1]

Nellie K. Adaba There is a lot of anti immigrant sentiment in the UK, which is depressing, but the level of violence in South Africa is truly shocking.

Dear Madiba I am writing this in tears, I Love you Dada Nelson Madiba Mandela😭 you are selfless and filled with Love ❤️, I know a lot of things wouldn't have gone wrong with the continent, rest on Baba. The Almighty has sent some young Soldiers Just like Moses sent to save the Israelites from Egypt they are called the EFF. They are fighting for our rights Baba, they speak for the masses and the poor Baba, sometimes in an unapologetic radical way because some of our African brothers and sisters have sold our pride and dignity to the people who want to enslave us in ignorance. I am happy to say that there will be free education for the poor in SA starting this year 2018 for the sake of the EFF Baba. I was born in Nigeria but I am moving to South Africa because that is where my heart and soul is. I Vow to follow your legacy, we will educate our African Brothers and sisters, we will eradicate poverty, we will continue the #46664 HIV & AIDS Awareness. Through Enlighten Africa Foundation and Pink Package Back Africa, we will do our best, our souls are inclined to yours Baba❤️✨ Thank You for the good foot prints you left behind for us Baba.

He was for decades a man of violence. In 1961, he broke with African National Congress colleagues who preached non-violence, creating a terrorist wing. He later pleaded guilty in court to acts of public violence, and behind bars sanctioned more, including the 1983 Church St car bomb that killed 19 people. Mandela even suggested cutting off the noses of blacks deemed collaborators. His then wife Winnie advocated "necklacing" instead - a burning tyre around the neck..what a lovely person....just like you. Cry, your tears will evaporate in hell

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD TO BE ABLE TO CALL THIS MAN OUR PRESIDENT. He was nurtured in prison, by God for our reconciliation as a country, during a time when black anger would have been seen as justified. But no blood shed is good. He integrated us all. He lived and achieved all that was set out before, every minute thereafter was bonus time for us. He CAPTURED "PURPOSE"

I dare someone to show me a perfect human being, and I will show him a liar! But lets get flexi with English here... He was an Examplar, fit to be copied. When was the last time you read about someone willing to lay down his life for his ideals of freedom for all ALL, not just blacks, ALL, and was not prepare to appeal the death penalty if it came, this he decided before the verdict. He did not use violence to bring about justice, DO YOUR RESEARCH

[@PRmoustache88]

Jesus? What were the Rivonia trials about? Source: The State v. Nelson Mandela et al, Supreme Court of South Africa, Transvaal Provincial Division, 1963-1964, Indictment. The man was never considered a political prisoner by Amnesty International. Mandela acted as a terrorist.

[@leeannvdb]

maskedavenger777 One may ask: if a child is bullied and beaten every day at school as is the case these days, and then one day, the VICTIMISED CHILD, AFTER responding with dialogue, finally has had enough, and stands up for himself and hits back hard. What now do you call him? He is a bully because he is responding the same way you respond? Its one thing that blacks could not be together with whites(the separation model) its another when you have to carry a document on you every where you go in your own country or be arrested. Yet this will never apply to whites?The separation model is evil, for all are born free and equal before God. We fight for more than just freedom and equity, its about a model that forever causes destruction. And so the real devil must be seen for what he is, and those who subscribe to his separation model. Don't hate the ones who come to restore things to the way it was always intended. There are those that would walk away and take lifelong beatings because the road to freedom is too bumpy to begin with, then there are those, that are willing to die that others may be free.

[@PRmoustache88]

Lee-Ann Van Der Byl Yes, the apartheid government was brutal and unfair. But when one chooses to attack a civilian population in reaction to that, then you have blood on your hands. It would have been best to engage the South African military or the SA police forces involved in the violence. The ANC terrorists would go after the children of police officers. I don't see that as honorable. Yes, I knew a couple of South African whites. They had to flee the country after the ANC took control of the gov't.

Mandela had too much love yes, but its better to be respected than feared and he was a well respected man, that's why he succeeded in everything

[@risediallo6913]

Succeeded in what? he was just a talking man without any results. Those citizens he wished to help are still suffering. The evil and selfish men are still in control over the whole africain continent. The enemy shows him false love and he in his weakness believe the falseness of the enemy.

[@risediallo6913]

Well, Mandela's ANC never necklaced me for being a moderate against Apartheid, but thousands of Zulu brothers of his, who took a more peaceful path against Apartheid, died gruesome deaths. I can't say I love him, I can see that he could spend some part of eternity in Hell for his part in killing people who were more peaceful and moderate than he. I also don't see killing the family of policemen as being honorable acts in ANC history. I see that Mandela had never ordered it stopped and he felt justified in causing civilian deaths and injuries. The worst of the anti-apartheid movement came to power, but that is the way of hard core Marxists, which is to kill off the more pacific types in a movement in order to have a clear path for themselves.

killed PEOPLE? God hears the cry of his people and responds and is express in particular to the OPPRESSED. God is a fair and JUST GOD, and our Mandela president subscribed to same, and God used Him as He used many before to free His people.

[@leeannvdb]

maskedavenger777 Those charges were set up by the government, for all we care they could have called him a rapist or a murderer, or both, not because it would have had any merit, but because THEY COULD. And some of the people in the world called Him a terrorist, those were the reports you got from a white controlled media, who were not allowed to report what was really happening...its sad when onlookers who were never affected just pass comment lightly, on heavy issues from which the truth is hidden. Apartheid is over, and blacks in their numbers were fuelled with fury and anger, and the TERRORIST who was now president was expected by his fellow comrades to now turn this into a black on white war, just to have their time to vent their anger over what was done to them.And a lot of what was DONE you will not find in the media, it lays etched on the black victims memory boards. And if he was as you say, a TERRORIST, HE HAD THE TIME AMD THE OPPORTUNITY to get even when he was president, he is no ordinary man, He is/was brilliant. I am coloured(its a race group) and we were not as badly affected as Africans(the race group) were, but we saw it all, aint no need to read bout it in the papers. And so we will disagree forever with you. Talk to a few white South Africans who see the truth for what it is/was and who hated apartheid too, and hid these guys during these times when government attacked them.

[@leeannvdb]

You know Maskedavenger, I shouldn't have wasted my time, I didn't read your entire piece at first, my bad, I now realize after reading it entirely, that you never said one thing in reference to what the ruling(white) party did. Or that Apartheid was/is a bad thing. You may not understand at all, that some of us didn't have a problem keeping to our respective race groups as the Apartheid model stated. We could have done that, we did actually, it was more damaging and demeaning than your mind can wrap itself around. And yes you said nothing of the white ruling party of back in the day. I shoulda seen your flag, and woulda not wasted my time.
