Description:
My tribute to the legend, the father of our nation, Nelson
Mandela (1918 - 2013)
Mandela's past is one of much conspiracy and terrorism. Let
that be no secret. I do believe though that the course of South Africa had to
change to prevent a civil war from happening, just like in the middle east and
other countries in conflict. Even though South Africa is in a mess and a lot
now is worse in comparison to the previous government, with the kind of
suppression and segregation that was happening, it was only asking for civil
war, which Mandela diffused. Doing so and without wanting to take revenge on
his oppressors by managing to find peace and forgiveness in himself for them
after 27 years of imprisonment.
I don't judge him on his ability as a president, since no
president is really the one making the decisions for a country. The most
important part for me, is the turning point of steering this country away from
total war with itself by him being able to find peace, considering all that he
went through himself, including the mass suppression of his own people, to
prevent inevitable war.
