Nelson Mandela's legacy: As a leader, he was willing to use violence

Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president, is a giant in the world of liberation heroes, up there with Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

But unlike Gandhi, who said that nonviolence and truth were inseparable, and King, who famously declared that violence was immoral, Mandela embraced armed struggle to end the racist system of apartheid.

"But just as he had embraced violence without the permission of ANC leaders, Mandela, on his own initiative, wrote to leaders of the white supremacist government in 1985, initiating peace talks. Gradually, he negotiated a peaceful end to apartheid and the release of political prisoners. One of the last to be freed, he continued talks with the white government and persuaded it to agree to free, democratic elections, in effect a surrendering of its power."

"After his release, and on becoming South Africa’s chief executive in 1994, Mandela adhered to the commitment to peace, tolerance and equality that became the hallmark of his presidency. Like Luthuli, whom he had opposed on the question of violence, Mandela in 1993 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with then-South African President F.W. de Klerk, for the negotiations ending apartheid."

"I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death."

I am not Mandela but I agree no need to despair and let these rotten LJ and CB Lang burn in hell. They and their descendants will have to pay dues for their crimes in one way or another.

Yes this is the way wise people work. Jiuhukia is very stupid to slander me their perceived enemy.

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner. Nelson Mandela

And of course I am not Mandela and have absolutely no interest to make peace with low class jiuhukia criminals who have not been punished for their crimes and the evil injustice they did to me.

Apartheid was what made South Africa great. It placed power in the hands of those who were hardworking and capable.

Since the end of apartheid SA has gone downhill rapidly. The rand has lost more than 90% of its value, the economy has gone down the tubes, social order has disintegrated and crime is up 1000%.

We all know that Ang Mohs are the best and dark skinned civilisations would be wise to allow Ang Mohs to run the their country on their behalf. What they may lose in democratic rights will be more than made up for in the areas of security, safety and prosperity.

What is the use of prosperity when it didn't go to them? So even if lost 100% also makes no difference to them.

Build arms is the way to peace as shown by china history.

It would be best if you remain silent rather than shoot your mouth over an issue you know absolutely nothing about.

On 31 January 1985 State President P W Botha offers Nelson Mandela, leader of the banned African National Congress(ANC), conditional release from the prison sentence he had been serving since the conclusion of the Rivonia Trialin 1964. The condition of his release is that he renounces violence, and violent protest, as a means to bring about change in South Africa.

Mandela communicates his refusal of the offer through his daughter, Zinzi Mandela, who reads his statement to this effect at a rally in Soweto on 10 February 1985. He states that the ANC's only adopted violence as a means of protest " when other forms of resistance were no longer open to us ". Mandela had refused previous offers of conditional release where the condition was that he be confined to the Transkei.

Isn't it common sense that any prosperity that didn't go to the blacks even lost 100% also makes no difference to them? At least they got freedom to go anywhere without pass or vote now etc basic human rights that they didn't have previously.
