Mandela is a convicted terrorist and he was a communist until the day he died. His best international friends were Fidel and Muammar. I will be honest here and say I don't know a lot about Mandela... However what I have "caught" listening was that he was a decent man who's actions reflected that... He walked the walk, for what he believed, and sacrificed his own "life" as it were, for the greater cause with no regrets... He had his flaws, but overall he did good. Those who have taken over the ANC, have corrupted his ideals. Big thiefs! It amazed me that Mandela lived as long as he did. Visiting Robbin Island prison, and seeing the work they had to do, and the living conditions he lived under, was amazing he was still that healthy. His weakness was women. So he had a divorce in his life. He left home, as he did not want to marry the women picked out for him. Winnie is not even well liked in South Africa. The day we left she was being investigated for murder charges when we were there in March. Killing those on her side in the struggles. I do not think Mandela was a Communist, but was a Socialist. And a conviction for terrorism? Thomas Jefferson would have been convicted by the English under their rule for terrorism. |
