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

I read his autobiography some years back and was deeply moved by what he went through. It's a good read and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
That said I've been to SA and won't be returning. Horrible, violent place. His legacy is sadly not as great as it could have been.

To xx-Ian-xx who posted above I would suggest you read his autobiography as well as several other recognised books on apartheid in SA to get a neutral handle on what happened!
This thread is not the place to start an argument so I will leave that there!

Exactly, it's a legacy of a corrupt ANC which has a stranglehold on political life, a dangerous anti-white 'youth wing' within said ANC, and a country riddled with violent crime, rape, and HIV. Of course, it could have been worse without Mandala, but the country could easily go fully down hill and become a Zimbabwe now.
