[@YogsenForfoth]

It’s so messed up that this brilliant man was viewed as a dangerous criminal. All he wanted was freedom and full autonomy for the lives of his people. It’s a crying shame that he was jailed.

It was legalised immorality, just because something is legal doesn't mean it's just or moral.

[@JSmusiqalthinka]

Such is the case with all those who choose to engage in defensive violence against oppression when all nonviolent methods have been exhausted. The oppressor will say anything to prevent the overthrow of their systems.

Father of the Nation

[@dubldeka]

Being "All about peace" gained him a presidency of a new nation. If he had used Taliban methods he would be where the Taliban is today. Being feared is pointless and unsustainable. Feared people are hunted by the fearless. There is no benefit in being feared, only inevitable loss

[@siphamandlamthwesi8399]

wise words

[@mothothebe5974]

But peace cost him and millions of Africans 30 years of suffering after this interview. Listen to the condescending talk of this interviewer. These whites felt invincible and were proud. Backed by the USA and UK, the phony minority government helped the West get rich off millions of poor black labour.
