If he was pro apartheid why were "black" people working on his farm? Why did one of his black workers claim he was a good man.

What could he have done in that city that no-one heard about but only the city?

very strange indeed...

Do a bit of reading up, seems the rioting kids are a bit more clued up than you are.

what i don't understand is most of the guys who were ululating and shouting barely even knew him from a bar of soap

My thoughts exactly, however, I've accepted this kind of ignorance as part of South African culture. It's like the school children who were "up in arms" around the whole Jub Jub thing. I'm sure they didn't even know who the hell he was (I didn't, until I had the misfortune of watching him on Survivor), just a good excuse to stay off school.

Are you actually going to compare political actions against a facist regime to a racial attack on petrol attendant?

Naive of me to leave what possibilities out?

He was jailed for that assault yeah. I was referring to both of them involved in political bombings that claimed the lives of innocents.

"Mandela signed off the Church Street bombing in Pretoria 1983 that killed 19 and wounded more than 200."

"The AWB launched a bombing campaign in 1994 in which 21 people, mostly black, were killed. Terreblanche later took “moral” responsibility for these attacks in a statement to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1998. He was granted immunity from prosecution. "

Is there a different yard stick you want to measure them by?

Where did you get that from? I thought it was Oliver Tambo who authorised that?
 
No matter how you look at it, these are just more examples of how depraved and violent this country has become. Lawlessness is everywhere and the government of the day sits back and allows it to continue, as if they have a secret agenda in all of this. Time for some enforcement Jacob, if you have the will to do it and the b@lls to see it through, or are you going to become another Thabo Mbeki?

"The long walk to freedom" - Nelson R. Mandela

P.W. Botha also propositioned him with freedom if he publically renounced violence. He never did so and remained jailed.

But hey, bygones are bygones. I drive past his house in Qunu weekly and I don't spit out the window. I don't hate Mandela, nor do I love E.T. I wasn't around at the time to take the motives into context. The only thing that irritates me is how the same rules don't apply to everyone when it comes to reconciliation.
