... resolve and sanity.

He could have been released 27 years earlier if he renounced violence. But he didn't. And he had an easy life in prison unlike IRA freedom fighters.

@@irishboer7124 IVE NEVER, experienced ANYTHING GOOD about being incarcerated, in the long/short times when I was. BUT, I'm not SOUTH AFRICAN, but FORTUNATELY IM a AFRICAN/AMERICAN, who was WELL INFORMED about the APARTIED that INFLICTED HARSH PENALTIES on REAL SOUTH AFRICANS, Indicative of AMERICAN JIM CROW policies...(in the latter half of the 20th century at that). MANDELA was also a NATURAL BOXER, which probably HAD ALOT to do with his CHARACTER on a whole. It's very difficult to be NON -VIOLENT, when an opposing RACIST regime is pretty much throwing the first PUNCH just because THEY FELT LIKE IT.

Michael kirsky

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.

😮😮😢🎉🎉😂😊😊

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.

I believe south Africa will be great again even if it takes a long time

So true. Like Michael Jackson asked, “will you be there?”

Changed in a bad way its a mess whites are suffering

Well said and beautifully written thank you for saying this👏👏👏

He sold out his people to the western powers, and he did nothing to procure justice after years of apartheid.

@@capoislamort100 your like a stupid and ignorant person who doesn't know the facts ...and circumstances that led to the South African 🇿🇦 negotiated settlement... please do your research and gather your fact before you spew such ignorance in this platform..

How u know that

Facts

Somewhere right now in SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 you’d more than likely find a lil kid with a similar smile markings his misgivings about conditions and the aftermath of the atrocities

The pain cannot leave, which makes me respect him even more. He went against natural instincts i.e sacrifice love. Love people who hate u. Most people undermine this part of him because they only want to see a hero

1990 to 2021. 30 years has gone by, can we say anything has changed in who holds the power of this nation? Who owns the mines of the gold, diamond and other precious metals in South Africa?

@@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.

He did not saved it from CW he just postponed it ...

What exactly did Mandela do for South Africa, please inform the world?

Civil war is raging in South Africa right now.

Respect man

Getting rid of corruption would be a good start.

'great' in terms of what?

@@lindokuhlehlatshwayo9215 Great in terms of leadership. He showed South Africa a direction that could hold the country together during the transition. That was true leadership. There were tensions in South Africa. Tension between blacks and whites. Tensions between blacks and blacks. It takes leadership to achieve a common ground in the midst of such tensions.

​@@georgeodhiambo598Mandela considered all people as equal hence called SA, "THE RAINBOW NATION"as Mr Mandela knew that it wasnt just blacks that was part of the struggle but people of all colours but immediately after this GREAT MAN, the wolves started to move in and breaking that RAINBOW NATION DREAM to pieces overnight by only considering blacks as the only ones who deserve to be not just in SA but on the AFRICAN CONTINENT.Today they follow a dream about AFRICA WITHOUT BORDERS, but failes to brings stability in our own sovereign R.S.A, whereas MR MANDELA got this country almost overnight together as one and to top it all up,with his apartheid enemy OF THE PAST.SO IN MY VIEW MR MANDELA WAS A MAN NOT TO RELIVED THE PAST BUT TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY STRONG FOR TODAY AND A BETTER FUTURE.REST IN PEACE MR MADIBA🙏🏻

They’re corrupt. They’re all Mandela’s buddies. People are blind outside of SA. they just soup up this regurgitated fantasy that totes Mandela as a saint. It’s just wrong and their is ample evidence and numbers and people to prove it without a doubt. ANC is a complete failure.

how do you know

I don't think he meant tertiary education. Even the first world richest countries when it comes to university education citizens have to pay. But there's other funding methods to help those that come from poor backgrounds

@@Stirlingshirecastle Well in Germany Schooling if free up to University and parents get children grants untill children finish their studies. By the way the children grants in Germany are for all parents doctors and lawyers too, not just the poor yet they don't pay for education. That is probably why their children can take gap year after university and travel the world, because if parents are well paid they save their grants for them.

@@nomxhosapekani7966 even here in Scotland is free but you've to pay it back when you start working with the exception of nursing. They won't deny you to go to university because you don't have money. They'll pay everything for you including your monthly income support but you have to pay a certain amount back. In 🇩🇪 is it totally free whereby even if you're working they don't expect you to pay anything?

@@Stirlingshirecastle Thanks for echoing my comment. I live in Germany, hence I spoke about the system.

South Africa is still suffering under the boot of racist tyrants.

@@abakir5578 study history, don't ask for free lessons.

He wasn't innocent. He was a mass murderer

@@jeffslote9671 and No he wasn't that's a lie, Mandela did get involved in sabotage but he never killed anyone and was no murderer, besides if your people were suffering human rights abuses and oppression, you might have joined the armed struggle against the regime which was indeed very brutal.

He literally killed people to achieve his political goals

Google probably.

Here’s a list: 1. Made a inspiring speech. 2. Made some more inspiring speeches. 3. ANC took over, white culture and land attacked. Some have been there longer than any American has in America. 🥱
