The truth about Mandela?

Hmm, in this forum youâ€™re bound to get some very opposite views.

I like the idea of Madiba-magic. Yes he is a convicted criminal, but he paid his dues. Who here can really stand up and say â€œI have never committed a crimeâ€.

Truth is he stood up for what he believed in. Just look what he achieved.

Why keep hammering him about the bad things that happened in the past? He did (and is still doing) so much good.
If there is only one example in this world of a person rising above his circumstances, then that would be Madiba.

(Thumbs down me if you will, I respect him.)

Nelson Mandela is a Communist Terrorist who was caught red handed and sentenced to life imprisonment. The evidence against him was not only in his own hand writing but overwhelming and only after the intervention of the British Foreign Office did he not receive the death sentence. The question that surrounds Mandela is was he fighting for freedom or was he fighting to install Communism. Throughout his life Mandela has constantly aligned himself with some of the worst despots on the Planet including Fidel Castro,Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat. He was indoctrinated and trained in Soviet Russia and has always consistently opposed the US and any other Western Government.
What you have read about him is commonly known as the Mandela myth.A script written for him by the CIA outlining how he would live his remaining years and the rewards he would get for it e.g. he received US$50,000 from the US upon his release from Prison and to this day the Mandela brand is protected and marketed by a US Company. Mandela was also used by Soviet Russia and the ANC as a major propaganda campaign in Western Media which was a strategy to pressurise both the US and UK Governments into acting against then then White South African Government. He is and was relatively unimportant in the ANC other than as a brand they could use to their benefit and of no use to them once he was released from Prison.Factually he contributed nothing tangible to South Africa during his term as President and was simply a figurehead for the ANC who were glad to see him go.
Now to back up what I have answered here is a site where you can read a number of articles about Mandela which will expose the truth behind the myth:

Nelson Mandela is a zero on a contract, useless, like Alf said he was a convicted terrorist, that served 27 years in jail, came out as a hero, made a lot of promises like all politicians, that never came true and now sit and wait to die, he is 85 or older.

Sorry Honey but I agree with Alf on this I read his book "Long Walk to Freedom",do you really think he cared to S@@@@ts about me or you,when they where blowing the living hell out of us.xxxx

He is a filthy degenerate, nothing but a Terrorist who should have died for the crimes he committed against white civilians

SA would have been better off if he just rotted in that cell and died.

Mandela is a man very true to his word.He promised his followers if they vote for him he`ll give them water to their houses and he did...hellova rainstorms South Africa got....just a pity it didn`t last....

Many people consider that Mandela was a terrorist many years ago, and thats why he was incarcerated for so long, others see him as a freedom fighter, for the rights of his country and of his people, and now he is old and frail, a statesman, not quite in the same league as say Gandi but venerated.

Look deeply at the harvest of Mandelas crop, corruption, murder, rape, crime destruction of everything that is good and decent, these are the qualities that Mandela tne corrupt terrorist has brought to our beloved country.
Read the posting that I have provided and make up your own mind

Does who he was matter more than the affect of who the majority believe he is. Most people believe in the good things he has said and as a result are better people for it. He was a terrorist but he changed. He convinced many to forgive. If more world leaders taught the same values, the world would be better off.

He is bad turned good in the eyes of some people

Bitter Blue, and Bob Mugabe promised them farms. Right. Just as long as I know that that makes everything all right.

Ok, I've read your post again. Agreed!

You will get a White view and a black view of Mandela.
The White view in general will be negative on the other hand the Black view in general will be positive.
There will always be two side to a coin.The majority of the people addressing Y/A are Whites.So do not be surprised by the negative answers. It is best for you research this a bit more.He is not the monster that people make of him nor he is an angel.

I've seen what most have said here....unfortunately their take on the matter doesn't represent how most people believe about him....nationally and internationally, whatever is said here won't do a dent.......He is my HERO!!!!!

Mandela is a great man... people's comments in here are not really worth it...why because its people you dont really know and for all you know they could be very ignorant...books on the other side teach you and show you the things madela lived, because they know what they talking about...
