  • Repugnant. 10 years ago

    Mandela was already burnt out when he got out of jail, so what could have been the impetus for hanging on?

    Granted he was selfless and gave his all to his country, our lesser, self-seeking not so genteel lowlifes can learn ...

    I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A PROTRACTED DEBATE ABOUT WHY MANDELA DELEGATED TO MBEKI. AFRICAN LEADERS WOULD NOT DELEGATE WHETHER THEY ARE INSIDERS OR OUTSIDERS. THEY ARE POWER DRUNK. HOW COULD YOU COMPARE NKRUMAH TO MANDELA. NKRUMA ...
