“I have fought against white domination,
and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a
democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony
with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for, and to see
realised. But my Lord, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to
die." Nelson Mandela, defence statement during the Rivonia Trial, 1964.
Also repeated during the closing of his speech delivered in Cape Town on the
day he was released from prison 27 years later, on 11 February 1990.
b. 18 July 1918 d. 5 December 2013 May he truly Rest In Peace. Robala ka kagiso senganga!
