IN PICTURES: USA President-elect Joe Biden And South Africa by YEBOmadiba: 6:00pm On Nov 08, 2020 |
Early this year, during at least three presidential campaign appearances, Biden said he was arrested as he tried to visit Nelson Mandela in prison. As a young senator, Biden had visited South Africa during apartheid - a system of racial segregation which began in the 1940s and ended in the early 1990s. Biden was a vocal campaigner against apartheid. “This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid. I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robbens Island (Cape Town)" While Biden kept mentioning it during his campaign, this “fact” was something that had never come up before when he spoke about South Africa. In March 2020, after much backlash over the story, Biden finally came out with the truth. He wasn’t arrested while trying to visit Mandela. He was held up at the airport for refusing to use a whites-only entrance upon his arrival in South Africa. Biden said: “They would not let me move anywhere. I guess I should’ve said I was detained; I was not able to move forward.” However, with Biden now set to assume power in the US, South Africa is bracing itself for having a friend and ally in the White House. The Trump administration had failed to warm up to SA and Africa, in general. 6 Likes 1 Share

That's why we want Biden, But unfortunately some nigerian prefer that stewpid racist. I still don't understand why they can't, simply, use their sense. |
