Nelson Mandela trained as a lawyer he provided free or low-cost legal counsel to many blacks who would otherwise have been without representationand!. He was a civil rights worker who for many years preached non violent opposition to apartied!. South Africa lived under the rule of apartied one of the worse racist regimes the world has ever seen!.

Nelson Mandela was originally arrested and charged with illegal exit from the country, and incitement to strike!. Mandela was convicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment!.

While serving this sentence he was tried for sabotage and sentenced to life inprisonment!.

He had coordinated a sabotage campaign against military and government targets, and made plans for a possible guerrilla war if sabotage failed to end apartheid!. Mandela also raised funds for MK abroad, and arranged for paramilitary training, visiting various African governments!. They targeted symbolic places of apartheid, like pass offices, native magistrates courts, post offices and !.!.!. the government offices!. But did it in such a way that nobody was hurt or killed!.

Nelson Mandela has never wavered in his devotion to democracy, equality and learning!. Despite terrible provocation, he has never answered racism with racism!. His life has been an inspiration, in South Africa and throughout the world, to all who are oppressed and deprived, to all who are opposed to oppression and deprivation!.

As President from May 1994 until June 1999, Mandela presided over the transition from minority rule and apartheid, winning international respect for his advocacy of national and international reconciliation!.

I think there are few men who after spending twenty eight years in jail would not have become filled with resentment and hatred against the white population of South Africa who had put him there and treated the blacks so terribly during his life!. That he did not use that power when he became President to get revenge on the whites shows the greatness of the man!. If he had not acted as he did we might well have seen his country become like the tragedy we now see in Zimbabwe today!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mandela was sent to jail for terrorism!.
He belonged to ANC whose specialty was murdering civilians!. The ANC was aided and abetted in its work by the Soviet Union a fact neatly covered up by the media of that time!.
Today Mandela is a hero to some because of his brave fight to end Apartheid but with the ascension to power of the ANC in South Africa the country started a downward spiral and today its once rich and vibrant economy is failing!. It has become the murder capital of the world and unemployment and economic dislocation have turned it into a virtually ungovernable country!. None of this is Mandela's doing because he was always a true democrat but the leadership that came after him were incompetents!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He was convicted for violent actions to end apartheid in South Africa!. His supporters look past his criminal acts and admire him for his attempts to end that racist system!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In the old days he was part of a terrorist gang trying to get rid of the apartheid government!. But once he got out of jail, he changed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nelson Mandela killed many civilians in Africa!. He was a terrorist!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mandela was a terrorist who killed civilians in South Africa (look it up)!. His loathing of apartheid lead him to actively pursue terror, the west has since made him a poster boy for their own conscience and they trumpet his subsequent renouncement of terror and force!.
His long arrest and his intelligent, charming nature alongside the seperation policies of the South African state was like honey to a bear for the ultra left in the western countries!.

The fact that his party, the ANC, have made a previously vibrant South Africa into another crime ridden, aids infested and economically stagnant 3 world state while they wallow in corruption and continued support from the west is a tragedy, which the west try to mask with their worship of Mandela!. Their is even a statue of him in London, erected by corrupt marxists in the labour party!.

The afrikaners are now treated like non persons at worst and 2nd class citizens at best in the nation that they built with their own hands and spilled blood for, whilst the USA which was created in the same way as SA (by european immigrants) hypocritally tells us all we should celebrate the 'rainbow nation' under ANC domination!. Just like Rhodesia, SA will fall into total ruin and the flagellent 'leaders' we have in the western powers will wash their hands, shrug and continue to trun a blind eye to their pets!.

It is a farce and a sham!. Apartheid was wrong but Mandela is no hero, and the ANC are gangsters!.
