APARTHEID

With Oliver Tambo

Sharpeville - 1961

Rivonia Trial 1963

Robben Island

Rivonia trial - 1964• During my lifetime I have dedicated

myself to this 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.

I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen.

Mandela and Joe Slovo

Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements.

Learning from Mandela

• Determination

• Commitment to a cause bigger than oneself

• Leadership

• Forgiveness

• Accountability

I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
