3 Things You Didn’t (Want To) Know About Nelson MandelaLEE JENKINS JUNE 27, 2013 887

The hero of the anti-apartheid struggle was not the saint we want him to be.

The image of Nelson Mandela as a selfless, humble, freedom fighter turned cheerful, kindly old man, is well

established in the West. If there is any international leader on whom we can universally heap praise it is

surely he. But get past the halo we’ve placed on him without his permission, and Nelson Mandela had more

than a few flaws which deserve attention.

He signed off on the deaths of innocent people, lots of them

Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South

African Communist Party. At his trial, he had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including

mobilising terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg

railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK

terrorists. Here are some highlights

-Church Street West, Pretoria, on the 20 May 1983

-Amanzimtoti Shopping complex KZN, 23 December 1985

-Krugersdorp Magistrate’s Court, 17 March 1988

-Durban Pick ‘n Pay shopping complex, 1 September 1986

-Pretoria Sterland movie complex 16 April 1988 – limpet mine killed ANC terrorist M O Maponya instead

-Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court, 20 May 1987

-Roodepoort Standard Bank 3 June, 1988

Tellingly, not only did Mandela refuse to renounce violence, Amnesty refused to take his case stating “[the]

movement recorded that it could not give the name of ‘Prisoner of Conscience’ to anyone associated with

violence, even though as in ‘conventional warfare’ a degree of restraint may be exercised.”

As President he bought a lot of military hardware

Inheriting a country with criminally deep socio-ecnomic problems, one might expect resources to be poured

into redressing the imbalances of apartheid. Yet once in office, even Mandela’s government slipped into the

custom of putting national corporatism, power and prestige above its people. Deputy Minister of Defence

Ronnie Kasrils said in 1995 that the government’s planned cuts in defence spending could also result in the

loss of as many as 90,000 jobs in defence-related industries.

Mandela’s government announced in November 1998 that it intended to purchase 28 BAE/SAAB JAS 39

Gripen fighter aircraft from Sweden at a cost of R10.875 billion, i.e. R388 million (about US$65 million) per

plane. Clearly, the all-powerful air armadas of Botswana weighed heavily on the minds of South African

leaders…

Not content with jets, in 1999 a US$4.8 billion (R30 billion in 1999 rands) purchase of weaponry was

finalised, which has been subject to allegations of corruption. The South African Department of Defence’s

Strategic Defence Acquisition purchased a slew of shiny new weapons, including frigates, submarines,

corvettes, light utility helicopters, fighter jet trainers and advanced light fighter aircraft.

Below are some of the purchases made, presumably to keep the expansionist intentions of Madagascar at

bay…

Description Original Qty Illustrative total cost

Corvettes 4 R4 billion

Maritime helicopter for corvettes 5 R1 billion

New submarines to replace Daphne 4 R5,5 billion

Alouette helicopter replacement 60 R2 billion

Advanced light fighter 48 R6-9 billion

Main Battle Tank replacement of Olifant 154 R6 billion

Total cost in 1998 Rand R25-38 billion

Mandela was friendly with dictators

Despite being synonymous with freedom and democracy, Mandela was never afraid to glad hand the thugs

and tyrants of the international arena.

General Sani Abacha seized power in Nigeria in a military coup in November 1993. From the start of his

presidency, in May 1994, Nelson Mandela refrained from publicly condemning Abacha’s actions. Up until

the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in November 1995 the ANC government vigorously

opposed the imposition of sanctions against Nigeria. Shortly before the meeting Mandela’s spokesman,

Parks Mankahlana, said that “quiet persuasion” would yield better results than coercion. Even after the

Nigerian government announced the death sentences against Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni activists,

during the summit, Mandela refused to condemn the Abacha regime or countenance the imposition of

sanctions.

Two of the ANC’s biggest donors, in the 1990s, were Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and President

Suharto of Indonesia . Not only did Mandela refrain from criticising their lamentable human rights records

but he interceded diplomatically on their behalf, and awarded them South Africa ‘s highest honour. Suharto

was awarded a state visit, a 21-gun salute, and The Order of Good Hope (gold class).

In April 1999 Mandela acknowledged to an audience in Johannesburg that Suharto had given the ANC a

total of 60 million dollars. An initial donation of 50 million dollars had been followed up by a further 10

million. The Telegraph ( London ) reported that Gaddafi was known to have given the ANC well over ten

million dollars.

The apartheid regime was a crime against humanity; as illogical as it was cruel. It is tempting, therefore, to

simplify the subject by declaring that all who opposed it were wholly and unswervingly good. It’s important

to remember, however, that Mandela has been the first to hold his hands up to his shortcomings and

mistakes. In books and speeches, he goes to great length to admit his errors. The real tragedy is that too

many in the West can’t bring themselves to see what the great man himself has said all along; that he’s

just as flawed as the rest of us, and should not be put on a pedestal.

David McNeilage • 6 months ago −Good article. The misconceptions about South Africa and Mandela are vast. The ANC

is corrupt to the core and every bit as racist as the National Party they replaced. South

African Airways on behest of the Government recently ran a job advert with the ending

tag line "whites need not apply" In the north of the country, farmers are having their

land and homes repossed by the state and in some cases are being murdered for no

other reason than they are white. South Africa is a Zimbabwe waiting to happen.

Personally, I'll mourn FW de Klerk when he dies and will remain as ever, glad to be an

ex-South African.

DrPhuckyPhd • 3 days ago David McNeilage −And white managerial and professional types have been leaving South Africa as

rapidly as they can get out with their families. I know several who have already

left South Africa, and others who are planning on leaving. The reason? . . .

South Africa law decrees that white males must be placed at the bottom of the

Hire Lists for government jobs as well as Hire Lists for non-government jobs.

Whites can NOT get jobs in their native land of South Africa because of the

laws passed by Mandela's African National Congress. Not only is South Africa

a Zimbabwe waiting to happen but, also, the United States is a South Africa

waiting to happen . . . if you are white.

because of something that happened a long time ago that

anyone living today had nothing to do with. You think that justifies

it? That its fair for whites to be treated poorly because of it? and

DanielHil l iard • a day ago Collin −Yes. I am aware of what it is. I am not a Fox News watching idiot

who learned the word when they first heard Sean Hannity use it.

An ad hominem attack is when you try to discredit someones

arguing by calling them names, as opposed to directly

confronting their arguments. People who generally say really

stupid things and make no arguments like to make accusations

of "ad hominem attacks." I'm not trying to discredit people's

arguments by calling them names. I'm simply noting how stupid

these people are and trying to help their awareness of their own

intelligence levels. There aren't really very many "arguments"

from all the racists and bigots on here. Just ill-informed, biased

opinions. Therefore, me calling them idiots isn't an ad hominem

attack, because there is no argument that I'm trying to discredit.

I'm simply letting them know that they are ignorant fools.

comment just painted it to seem as if conservatives took offense

from the said general use of ad hominem, while the person to

whom you were replying said no such thing. They were just

noting a trend apparent to them. And personally I've been dealing

with ad hominems since I was 12, whereas I hadn't seen

Hannity until about 6 weeks ago. Just saying that perhaps not all

of us are the ignorami with which you seem to be accustomed

to dealing.

−Daniel, your internet screaming is just what might be expected

of a spoiled 2-year-old brat if he could type. But I'll try to help

you. This country has GIVEN more to the world than any other

super power in the history of the planet. In case you hadn't

noticed, a black man, supported by a majority of white voters,

has attained the White House. The government that was set up

by the Founding Fathers has left the path open to greater

opportunity than any other nation/state in history. Of course your

demands for absolute perfection are what one might expect

from some brain-washed twit like yourself. The nation's

economic plight isn't the result of the people who are out there

busting their tails to make life better, rather it is due to parasites,

with the support of elitists of whom you, no doubt approve, that

have infested the Administration and Congress. You should read

up on the term "useful idiot". But I know you don't care. You are

so full of venom and bile that only total destruction will satisfy

your obsession. Of course that destruction that you crave will

also be your own ending.

If you can use the word "ya" why can't he use "high tech" which

In some places you kept the original word (ex. lose) with your

Frim Lee • 10 hours ago J Simson −It is not in any way reverse apartheid. Affirmative action seeks to

even the playing field when it comes to socio-economic status.

When apartheid was abolished the socio-economic situation of

those affected by the regime were not.

CEOs and directors of the major companies in South Africa as

well as players in our sports teams were predominantly white.

With more than 70% of our population being black, surely you

must realize that that isn't a fair representation of our country.

Wealth and land are inherited. Unless something was done to

drastically alter this, the socio-economic status of non-whites in

South Africa would have taken decades to change, if at all, as

whites would have continued to inherit wealth earned by their

ancestors during apartheid and most non-whites would have

continued to inherit next to nothing. This is the reasoning behind

affirmative action and it makes logical sense.

Yes, the Soviets were "liberals" in the sense that we discuss

financial policies in the US. They favored big government, no

free enterprise, 100% taxation. Basically the program Lefties like

you can only dream of. Problem is, these policies can only be

put in place through a few well-planned purges.

I hate to shatter your cute little world view, but the Soviets didn't

magically stop being liberals just because they got caught in

mass murder.

Daniel, when you have recharged your neurone, return and talk.

It is an a priori consideration of Western Aid to Africa that guilt

for the slave trade should be maximized to maximize aid.

Recognizing this does not make me thin skinned. your failure to

recognize (admit) the tactic makes you thick headed.

James Lovelace • 2 days ago glebealyth −"It is an a priori consideration of Western Aid to Africa that guilt

The islamic slave trade dwarves the Atlantic slave trade. While

the Atlantic slave trade ended 150 years ago, it is still kept alive

to make white (post)christians feel guilty.

Black african historians who want to talk openly about the

islamic slave trade are told "do not do this, muslims feel no guilt

about it because slavery is legal in islam and they despise non-

muslims; if the christians find out about the islamic slave trade,

they may stop paying retributions because they realise the

muslims won't pay anything".

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Islams...

The above book is written by a South African anti-apartheid

campaigner. Whilst white-based apartheid has ended, we hear

nothing about the 1300 years of islamic apartheid.
