I'm quite shocked at this OP, who i cleary think is just a racist, its on another forum i'm on and some, not alot but some have agreed.

 

I'm rather angry so have not replied as such just yet, or is it me being too touchy??

 

Has everyone gone mad, people kissing his arris, people calling him the great man, people making him out to be some sort of hero,

i can't stand the git, he is a former terrorist, he and his wife murdered 100s of people, planted bombs, torture, tyre necklace's,

and yet the crazy nut jobs over here and across the world hail him hero, he should of took a snipers bullet years ago.

Thing is... some of the statments are correct. He was indeed a terrorist against the government of the time and participated in a bombing. What his reasons were MAY/MAY not have been justified but those were his actions. His wife on the other hand was a complete raving loony and was guilty of necklacing and other such crimes. Him I don't have a problem with as he had a cause to some degree, Winnie on the other hand was a proper nasty peace of work.

1991: Mandela's wife jailed for kidnaps

Winnie Mandela, the wife of anti-apartheid campaigner Nelson Mandela, has been given a six-year prison sentence for her part in the kidnap of four youths.

 

Her lawyers lodged an appeal against the sentence and Mrs Mandela was freed on bail.

 

The woman known to her supporters as the "Mother of Africa" was found guilty yesterday.

 

Passing sentence the judge, Mr Justice Stegmann, called her an "unblushing and unprincipled liar".

 

I remember this case rather clearly because I was living in SA at the time.. She was cleared for the actual murder of Stompie, but she was HEAVILY implicated.
