Happy Birthday, Nelson Mandela turns 89 on 18th July 2007

Before you make false accusations against the man perhaps you should do some research. I'm guessing the ones in here bashing him are white males who have no clue. They sit here and claim " reverse racism " when they have no idea how much the country and people have suffered. Happy 90th Birthday Nelson Mandela!!!!

A white woman, of Afrikaner origin, risked her life so that we may know, and bring to justice, this assassin. The cold-blooded murder of Chris Hani has sent shock waves throughout the country and the world. ...Now is the time for all South Africans to stand together against those who, from any quarter, wish to destroy what Chris Hani gave his life for -- the freedom of all of us." Nelson Mandela Apr 1993

"Tonight I am reaching out to every single South African, black and white, from the very depths of my being. A white man, full of prejudice and hate, came to our country and committed a deed so foul that our whole nation now teeters on the brink of disaster.

"Our resort to the armed struggle in 1960 with the formation of the military wing of the ANC (Umkhonto we Sizwe) was a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid. The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement would be created soon, so that there may no longer be the need for the armed struggle." Nelson Mandela Feb 11th 1990

"During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to the struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." Nelson Mandela Dec 16th 1961

i love south african people (native african). they have nice cultur and theyr are very nice. God bless u african brothers/sistas

you can read his book "long walk to freedom"...it's better to know his life and stand towards south africa before judging him...instead of criticizing a man you even dont know...

Why did he shag your mum ?

He is very much alive !

Pity him and his lot weren't executed long ago...
