collynzo2: Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists. Here are some highlights Excuse me if the ANC Armed wing was a terrorist group what do you call a government with a explicit and formalised directive with an army fully armed to dailly terrorise the unarmed masses deemed legal and supported by the West. Please explain to us then who writes the names, dates and venues that served as a place of disaster which was mostly in their own homes, streets and schools? I could never fault a people wh seeked to stand up to institutionalised slaughter of their own. No wonder Nigeria never supported the South African armed struggle, anything the US say goes. |

shymexx: That's America and the West for you. They had to keep him there just to make sure he didn't rescind on the great compromise that actually favoured/favours white people in South Africa. There's too much at stake in that country and they can't afford to lose the over 70% of wealth, which belongs to the white minority. I knew you'd surface on this thread...with yet another extreme view as always. LOL! But I think I'd disagree with you here. 27 yrs in prison is a looooong time to really have sober reflections and rethink one's position about life's affairs, plus only a good natured person can have that kind of radical change of ideology without vendetta or hate spewing forth. It takes the grace of God. |

[size=14pt]Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of The Nation).[/size] Umkhonto we Sizwe was the armed wing of the ANC. It was created in 1961. The South African and United States governments classified it as a terrorist organisation and it was banned. Nelson Mandela had this to say about the MK: "At the beginning of June 1961, after a long and anxious assessment of the South African situation, I, and some colleagues, came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be unrealistic and wrong for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. |

It is understandable that they did that cos at that particular time before he went to prison, the ANC were still viewed as a rebel group! I think that 27 years in prison reshaped Madiba in all ramifications, changed him positively! Even when he became the president, he was still suspect based on the history of African leaders who laid down principles that they could never meet but, Madiba proved them wrong by not condemning the white afrikaans who opressed them but by accepting the enemy, forgiving them without forgetting the past. This single act was where the world started having a different view about him that this legend could be different from other african leaders. The way he brought the oppressed and the oppressors together through his influence was a masterstroke. I admonish y'all that we should celebrate rather than raise up dusts which would not take anywhere! He Lives On! 1 Like |

mekula: Extreme? Bruv, it's about keeping it real. I honestly don't have anything against Madiba regardless of the compromise. He's an African hero and humanity's hero. If I were in his shoes, I would have done the same, since there was no the establishment would have let everything they invested in South Africa go. Add all the trillions of mineral wealth to the equation - and you would understand why the Apartheid regime developed nukes for anyone trying to challenge them. And the Apartheid regime also had the full support of the western countries. So I rate Madiba for actually compromising since the spears of the Zulu's can't challenge that. It would be suicidal. However, as we move forward - I'll like to see Steven Biko as the face of the new struggle. Madiba provided the platform with the great compromise. It's time to move on and get back to the basics and build on Steven Biko's ideology - black consciousness. Finally, despite the compromise, the Luciferians still kept the man's name on the terrorist list. Yet we wonder why Mugabe doesn't give a fvck about their opinions and their media.

Unfortunately most Africans don't understand this much. If you check the other thread where the op asked to label madiba with one word, my own label for him was 'overhyped' cos of what you stated above. Democracy is media and media is democracy. There is no other tool as paramount to democracy as the media. Not even money. Whoever controls the media controls the heart and soul of the masses. Tilt them to whichever side u so desire. Had madiba made any revengeful move against the minority whites in SA, he wouldn't be such a Messiah that you all know him to be today. The same western media that made him the Michael Jackson you see today would have been used to reduce him to a Michael Tyson. 5 Likes |

playboy19: When your oppressors start choosing your hero for you, then you need to be careful. Madiba did the right thing given the circumstances - and I won't call him overhyped. That would be a tad bit harsh on him because he never asked them to put his face everywhere as the face of humanity. Also, he suffered a lot for the cause and not too many would give-up everything like that for a struggle. So he deserves all the respect in the world for that. Mugabe was destined to be the next Mandela after the Lancaster House Agreement. Most people don't even remember that the same Mugabe was knighted by the Queen in 1993. However, just because he stood up for his people - he became the most ridiculed/critiqued man in the western media. Even Osama Bin Laden never had it that bad. 4 Likes |

BluIvy: Not crying more than the bereaved - just saying making him the face of the African/black struggle is just a little bit condescending on black people. He's a South African hero. And I love and respect him. But imposing him as what all black people should look-up is problematic. I'm a black man and I don't compromise. And even if I ever compromise at the beginning, I'll definitely come back for my just due and get it all. 2 Likes |

emmy-richie: Actually, prior to his incarceration, his armed group carried out attacks that harmed innocent people. He was arrested and tried after returning back to SA from a stint overseas to receive military training. In today's world, that would be called 'terrorist training;. Of course he became a changed man, a legend in prison and outside...and the fact that his name was on that database was merely an embarrassing error, nothing more. Not sure why there's so much of a furore over this right now, I'm pretty sure this was discussed extensively here on NL before EDIT: I was right. there are threads on this same subject dating back to 2008 |

collynzo2: Victims of Mandela's terrorist bombing in 1983 So you post the pictures of 4 individuals killed by 'Mandela's' terrorist group right? Just 4 persons? Do you know how many black South Africans that were brutally murdered, raped, jailed, etc? Have you stumbled on the report or proceedings from that Truth & Reconciliation Committee? Did you hear of harrowing stories of how people were eaten by dogs cos of their skin colour, how long sticks were pushed into women's privates and how families were locked up in a house and set on fire by the Aparthied regimes and you are here calling Mandela a terrorist while clapping for those wicked and oppressive governments that foisted Aparthied on the people.

shymexx: Absolutely true. I respect him and I'm in no way trying to undermine his struggle, but we wouldn't even be able to ascertain if he was truly a changed and forgiven man or he was just subjected to the change, i.e part of his freedom bargain was to let go of past wrongful events again him 'else'. As much as I don't have anything against him, yet I do not see him as an African hero. He was just a South African hero at best. But still, goodnight madiba. |

Such excuses are never good reasons to kill innocent people through terrorism, Osama bin laden had his reason also; American invasion of muslim countries, Israeli occupaton of Palestine etc. Mandela and his terrorist group killed innocent people and that is inexcusable. |
