The one that did all the above as you mention to fight for freedom of his people. He was taken to jail because he wanted to overthrow a government. That was the old Mandela and he knew it was wrong. He learned from that and came out as a man full of forgiveness. If he was the same man he was when he went to jail, there would have been chaos in SA. Most of the current problems as you mentioned with the taxation and teh state of hospitals are because of mismanagement and corruption of the leaders after Mandela. I can assure you that Mandela would have none of this if he was still alive. Unfortunately we didn't have more Mandelas to take over and become president. This country would have been so much better.Juan Nelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543150983834714667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335950604421889542.post-41358129548547880532015-04-02T03:15:27.497+02:002015-04-02T03:15:27.497+02:00You don't mention any of the following either:...You don't mention any of the following either:<br />The trial began in December 1963 and the verdicts were rendered in July 1964. The trial outlines the conspiracy to violently overthrow the South African government.<br /><br /> It proves how the revolutionaries planned and implemented campaigns of sabotage, intimidation, torture, guerrilla warfare, violence, disruption of transportation and communications, insurrection and revolution against the government with the assistance of the Communists and other radicals. They planned to manufacture or purchase explosives such as 48,000 land mines each containing 5 pounds of dynamite, 210,000 hand grenades each containing 1/4 pd of dynamite as well as petrol bombs,syringe bombs, thermite bombs, 1,500 timing devices for bombs, as well as molotov cocktails. <br /><br /> Their requirements included 144 tons of ammonium nitrate,21.6 tons of aluminum powder and 15 tons of black powder. They prepared for a nucleus army of 7,000 soldiers. Many to be trained abroad in Communist countries. The campaign was based on the model of successes previously achieved in Algeria and Cuba. More than ten documents written in Nelson Mandella's handwriting were submitted as evidence. They contained notes on basic and advanced military training and warfare as well as Communist doctrine. Although Mandella denied being a Communist he admitted that the aims and objectives of the ANC and Communist Party were identical. He even spoke of retaliation against non supportive blacks such as murder and cutting off their noses. <br /><br />So what is the legacy left by Mandela? Corruption in unimaginalbe proportians. Murdering of Citizens in un presidented numbers. Raping of woman with broken beer bottles. Murding of white farmers. White males unable to find employment because of BEE (Black Economic Empowerment). All government contracts awarded to Black owned businesses. Investor pulling out due to new laws that if they employee 50 people or more they HAVE TO transfer 50% of their business to their black employees, or if you employ less than 50 (say just 2 people) and you have a sales turnover of 1 million $ per annum you also have to turn over 50 % of your business. Hosptials are disgusting, no beds, no meds, no staff, all equipment stolen. Education system detoriating – no books, no tools and shortage of teachers. Gasoline costs out of proption. Country’s electricty infrastructure collapsing, due to lack of maintenance and not being able to keep up with demands. Eskom has the country on load shedding- blackouts! Billions of SA tax payers funds missing/stolen. Property taxes, food prices and staples to survive all rocketing in costs. Rioting, strikes and destruction of business by black employees demanding more, yet burning business putting them totally out of work. The only thing gained was one man one vote, and even that is not freedom as ANC and EFF plus other communist parites threaten citizens with this lives if they don't vote for them. Rot in Hell Mandela .. you go the golden goose, but you stuffed it! Leaving behind a hell for citizens!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140620339499444769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335950604421889542.post-19531892528854485342014-03-06T00:32:17.666+02:002014-03-06T00:32:17.666+02:00Your welcome I worked really hard on this, and I a...Your welcome I worked really hard on this, and I am very glad I could help you with your project.
