How Mandela Changed South Africa | From Prison To President | Timeline

January 1994 Nelson Mandela at a party quiet relaxed adored by his followers quiet dignified the undisputed leader of the African National Congress it is easy to forget that this is the man when he spent 27 years in

prison

at the hands of the successful South African government who were vilified throughout The world, however, seems to show no bitterness, suffering can break you, you can become bitter, you can become a frightening and totally intolerable creature to have around you, it can also make you more human, more compassionate, more loving, more understanding and the world did not make. a mistake in identifying him as one of the greatest and those were

prison

ers of conscience because he had shown himself in his trial when he said that there are some things that are so noble that one is willing not only to live for them but can die for them and when you, at the moment you think that you give yourself for the good of others, something happens in the chemistry of the body of the soul, I cordially greet you in this year of liberation from all types of isms that we have thus characterized the year 1994, to express it, immerses him in the hope of all our people that this year we will all finally achieve our emancipation and his encouragement will occur is probably the leader of the world whose morality and leadership are completely unquestionable in a context where you discover that the entire world will find itself in a state of upheaval and change, so because the only country with a change is very positive and much of that change is symbolized by Nelson Mandela, the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in February 1990 was a turning point.

In the history of South Africa it was the beginning of the end of apartheid, but for Mandela the last four years have been exhausting from a political and personal point of view, the negotiations were prolonged and political violence increased, although he has been able to forgive those who supported him. in prison and his family. It's been a lot harder for him to do so, so I'm still totally waiting for it to be the government and the current quality of me time in the family because I don't think you'll live through it to fully recover from the consequences of what you've done.

I mean, I've been deprived of a saga in my life, I've been deprived of his childhood and I don't think I'll ever be able to get that back, um, because as much as he's back now and you know, he proved the hardest he could to be a perfect or ideal parent, but there is still a lot of rediscovering each other that we have to do and I am really worried about when we will actually have time to do it. Mandela has had to sacrifice everything for the fight. including her family in 1992 had to sacrifice her marriage to gain eight she had been convicted of kidnapping and Nelson reluctantly announced a separation today the pain on both sides is hidden my own sense that he loves Wienie deeply and in many ways is a lonely man I mean that protocol II is given on behalf of others on behalf of the ANC but at the end of the day he goes to this huge house and although he has grandchildren and other people with them with him it is not the same and they held it.

I think that in prison in part and in large part because of her relationship with her and I have almost hoped that there would be a rehabilitation of Winnie and that at some point there would be a reconciliation, our love for each other has never been affected. what happened to us after a situation and separation and then we loved each other as we have always loved each other from the moment we met many years ago Winnie and the children zany and Zinzi never led a normal family life for Nelson politics came first and spent little time with them in 1963 he was tried for sabotage and planning a violent revolution.

He was sentenced to life in prison. Robben Island, 9 kilometers from Cape Town, where Mandela spent most of his 27 years in prison, was the experience that marked his life. The regime on the island was harsh, prison guards tried to bankrupt and demoralize political prisoners like Mandela. Oh, they consulted us about the damn problem and we really had to work on it and then they also did very insulting things. Freedom to humiliate and demoralize people. then of course very abusive, the guards use the cruelest racist abuse continually despite the beauty of the island, the men saw little of it, they never saw the boy even once and when we did, one day of the year, the voice of a child, you know there was It was a spontaneous action by everyone in the quarry and we hoped to see justice.

He didn't give it away and it must have been a prize. It's a group of children and the waters make sure they don't attract visitors to the island. take the ferry from Cape Town, although Mandela relied heavily on the support of his family, visits were rare, the children live one thousand five hundred kilometers from Cape Town, literature will be of great beauty on Robben Island because our area live is a wave that shows that oil separates it. It was just that the emotions will be quite dramatic, it would be very exciting to go down to theme I, to be quite fed up with walking away from me and I think in those circumstances it is really difficult to appreciate, you know, the beauty of his walks, all the flowers, what? will you know? the sea itself because there was the harsh reality of what the government of Robben Island means.

Prisoners were not allowed visits from their children. Lindsay had to wait until her father was imprisoned ten years before she met him for the first time, but she was always very boring. Growing up because people only talked about him and the owner to a full extent, so I was quite apprehensive because I felt like I was meeting some kind of demigod, but when I saw him, you know he is confused by an incredible personality. she has a great depth of feeling and warmth, you know, he just made me feel in the first five ten minutes, very good, we have tried to recapture what life could have been if we were home as a family and I think we both had enough feelings to recharge our batteries and be able to continue until the next visit.

We survived those years thanks to the love we have for each other. Prison strengthened Mandela as a man and as a leader he has also become a confident person. and charismatic activist and in negotiations with President de Klerk he proved to be a tough adversary; their relationship has often been stormy. I refuse to go with them to the White House to bash on President Ilham and when he suddenly says well, what is his relationship with the

president

of the South? Africa at your side that - mr. De Klerk is not the

president

of South Africa, he is the wife's president.

By the way, the question of how to build the prison has been raised. Some people are not sure. It refers to the debates between the president. Suddenly I am here and I told him: I am NOT. Today I am going to help a schoolboy. I am going to debate Massa's issues and I say that one of us will leave that circuit that he opposed. He will not be ordained. Mandela's personal life has suffered since he was released from prison. His marriage was under pressure. The crisis arrived. When we were found guilty of participating in the kidnapping of Stompy Sipe, who was later found dead, Winnie's reputation was seriously damaging Mandela.

They persuaded him to separate from her. I think he came out of prison feeling guilty about what Winnie and her children really do in India. and he was determined to do everything he could to try to repair that damage and take care of the wounded and I think he resisted any breakup, but when he realized that there was no way forward, he very firmly and calmly knew that he had to Ending my love for her remains intact, however, in light of the tensions that have arisen due to differences between us on a number of issues over the past few months, we have mutually agreed that a separation would be best for each of us. , it was too much for him to help with the matter. of a wife who has to be more reliable and whose name had been dragged so much that she couldn't deal with it and that was a situation where it was not her doing and she found herself having to make decisions and if you run a country that has great expectations about you, what do you do?

He had given up on his family for 27 years, what would that have really meant? I guess they convinced him in Africa, what would it have meant to at least give her up if he was going to stand in the way of her assuming leadership of her people today, but Winnie's reputation has improved. She is rarely seen at Mandela's side. They've been separated for two years, but could there still be a reconciliation? Bishop Tutu when I spoke to him about this he wouldn't want to do anything, I suspect it would be detrimental to Mendel's party for a cause, but my feeling is that my intuition is that he would really give his teeth to reconcile.

We are all still waiting to have parents at that time. end of the fight when he will be with his family and that the tensions have gone through the fight for the people and the country in his intention one day we will also have the luxury of having the nucleus of a family one day we will also know what it would have been like to lead a normal family. Ivorie Park, a squatter camp on the outskirts of Johannesburg, home to 200,000 people like Lydia and Taco, is one of the first stops on Nelson Mandela's election campaign that began last November. 8 million people in South Africa are squatters, that's a One fifth of the population, the people who live here are militants and Mandela must address the high expectations of him.

The battle against the crisis in our practice is the multiple divisions in authority left by our party. What is the day of reckoning against all these people who are responsible? for your progress for the progress that this invention was this plane is April 7 of next year will be the day of quickly let's go to party if you order a couple of Subarus double integrity Tijuana or Ibaka home with a better tavern than you valuable caddy Today's event is a popular forum, an opportunity for people to ask questions of AMC leaders. Today's questions are about basic needs like employment, healthcare and education.

Before not in Mali and your mana to see the song is a little more than Spooner about the holidays. wire already in muharram Santana work order in this campaign Mandela is everywhere sometimes it is as if the future of the new South Africa rested entirely on his shoulders he left prison as a kind of demigod that his own supporters had in every thought and also some of his political rivals in many ways he has not been tested as a leader, he has promised more than he can deliver to both whites and blacks and it is interesting to see how he is going to resolve this.

Mandela's next campaign will stop in a few hours. After addressing militant squatters in Ivory Park there is a fundraising dinner for the white business community in Pretoria, the ANC needs to reassure these white voters even though few will vote for the party if Mandela is to meet the expectations of the black voters, you need economic growth and This audience can help you achieve it in many ways. Look at it as a kind of great white hope, but to the extent that it's kind enough in the sense that it doesn't seriously threaten me, they go on with a good life, very interactive and in many ways.

We will be able to deliver to them what apartheid failed and that is international legitimacy, the lifting of sanctions and the economic reintegration of South Africa when the quality of life of the majority of whites in the world will not change. We add some consensus winner, one aware of the contagious position. and human tequila in an innovative solution you have nothing to fear from a government for injustice. I would certainly think that mr. Mandela is a visionary man, he has great visions for South Africa, as well as being very eloquent. I think it was absolutely an experience listening to this man.

I really respect him and feel sympathy for him. 100 responses and I was terribly impressed. The main beneficiaries of the new political agreement will be whites and a small black elite of approximately one and a half million people. The problem is not the million and a half black people, but the majority of black society who are uneducated or undereducated, unemployed or underemployed. They are not going to benefit much, at least initially, from the political agreement in the ivory parks were caught on camera. Mandela's visit has left residents eager to vote but they must first register and this has been a major problem, the registration system has been overwhelmed and unable to cope with a strain of 15 million people desperate to vote for the first time as Anna Mokuba at the level of us hmm some of the exploited reduce insulin civility smells good - I can enjoy laughing food to work a minimum of gluten maraschino Go Go Go food that is not a konigschlange go to take a bath for one a gallon and cheese in German side individual Roberto phenomenal modules vomit on my sofa the renovation daily a speaker AHA and barbecue hello often people's expectations are presented as totally unrealistic and really ridiculous and I get very offended by that because if you look at what the expectations are of the people you go to, I will park in some of the places you visited, ask the people what they want, Nelson Mandela in the president of the ISA, now they tell you they want a house they would like to have electricity in. the house would likea step with running water I would like a bathroom with sewage they would like the garbage to be removed from the street so people's expectations are quite modest in fact surprisingly modest I think in the great effort to create a new society and the new nation With its incomplete history and the world will judge us very harshly if we do not do what is just and right, we will not have a second chance.

I wish this conference to be successful. January 1994, the ANC's special conference debates the party's Reconstruction and Development Programme, its plan to reform South Africa. My permission is Aviva, comment on how people don't ask for you, they don't ask for holiday homes, they don't ask for thousands of varieties in a security deposit, our people asked for bath water for work. limit for the right to health to livepays for some of the other things that our people expect of us and we have no commercial desire. Fran sky, where Mandela was born and raised, there is no tradition of democracy here and many people have little idea of ​​what voting really entails beyond a yacht, a yacht is not a lucky one. oh and a yo-yo jeonga Randhawa on a Kaka there really is no flag Oh figure Apple Maggie Shea who acts as Wakko Mandela's sister Mabel who still lives here attends a voter education session in village X Y Z everyone attacked her le pebbles alcohol she says her brother first became interested in politics as a teenager It is a really fun castle for men Naldo in prison and a wife, an Ophelia of the Ganges still while she is engaged in politics.

Mandela's childhood was spent in a Qunu village where he herded cattle and sheep, but his family was better off than most. His father was a boss. Hey, he spent his last childhood years living in the royal compound in Boom Cucas Wany where he enjoyed listening to the village elders talk about how his ancestors had owned land until the British and the children came to the area. . The man who will be president of South Africa is a very private person. I think These Accords has incredible respect for both the answers and the ending as a woman, but I think there were also two strange disadvantages that I have in my relationship with Eve because there are always three bears, a boy Edison, yeah, it's not sexist . but he is incredibly chivalrous and almost caused us to have been in prison for 27 years and I don't find it offensive, he certainly doesn't demean me in the way that being a woman relates, but he always feels like he has to open doors for me or treat me with some K at the base of my older woman when I came up here now the president told me will you pray for me now I don't know how to say that cloud person and I guess the unfortunate events in his family life were quite painful for him because he actually cares a lot for the family.

I said it this morning over breakfast with him on Sunday and he just said, I don't want to get personal. But how old are you? You don't think you should really think about whether you want to have children or not and I think that's not a great play. I don't even know that we're pretty flippant about it and if that means people don't always talk about it. the difficulties of having children, the responsibilities, but people never talk about the joy and how having children, in fact, it forces you to redefine yourself and you just start looking at yourself from a completely different perspective, well, honey, could we clean any wedding then?

Now, because if we were guaranteed to go to Philips month, we could see it, but on something like his trips and stuff, we could easily not see it for two months. I really wish I had more time with a real tour because I really miss it. You know being with him and spending more time with him the moment he got out of prison was national property and it was like we were lucky to have even 10 minutes of his time for the family he had given his totally shattered life to. destroyed and it would have been a mistake on our part to stand in its way because this was the fulfillment of the dreams of the people who would be released from prison and needed and delivered finally to liberation despite the hopes that Nelson's release Mandela's prison could herald a new era of teeth has been the most violent period in South Africa's modern history the bish you massacre when the army insisted that I shoot a peaceful crowd was one of the worst incidents Mandela could have been able to stop the bloodshed violence has reached a point where the question of whether it is endemic is a valid question, in fact the question has become bigger because it is whether South Africa is going to become a violent civil society or whether It will be possible that the object of construction as In the peaceful society, an important factor has been the way in which the government has tried to turn black against black and fermented groups, particularly through military intelligence, into black groups as forces and surrogates that they could use against us in democracy and one such force in Qatar under Carter's leader, Chief Buta Lacy, has become the main obstacle to peace in South Africa.

In meeting after meeting, Mandela has tried to appease the entry, but Bhutto Lazy remains a wild card promising South Africans even more blood and tears in Carter has turned the country into a war zone in the last eight years 12,000 people have died here in clashes between Encarta and ANC supporters all Mandela can do he wraps himself in a towel and asks for peace this is the first ANC demonstration in the municipality of Ithaca Weyni, where more than a hundred people have died in fighting between Mandela factions come to claim the municipality for the anc previous demonstrations have been canceled after Carter's threats even once they are tired of good, they have lost a double knot and M, most importantly, the wood threatens violence.

The loaded tear is unhealthy for capital T a victim of violence is nine years old the pretty and gamer who was blinded and paralyzed in an attack on his family linking Carter gunman who killed his art a union activist capable of being vegan yes and I am very happy governor a little ball like a mannequin a place oh my yesterday like Oh Katla's house a township on the East Rand Nowhere is Mandela's inability to end the violence clearer than here the government's covert efforts to destabilize the municipalities that had dire consequences in Katla clashes between Encarta supporters and the ANC have turned this area into a war zone.

Death is a routine event. Katla Hong is now called the Sarajevo of Africa and Mandela can't do anything to stop the violence, so don't worry, it's the death toll in the mountains in the townships. This leads Mandela during the election campaign to launch his most bitter attack against President de Klerk. He welcomes the world that was previously a burden because this takes place barely a month later and he always believes that if his violence continues until the 27th Republic, then no. will reduce the support of the ANC to such a point that, hey Jimmy, if killing the political power after the 27th that is the strategy that the government has used and that is why precautions are never taken to protect our people against Why a government that professes governmental additions decided to use the matter as a method to ascend to political power?

Where were you until now? This man I am doing in Katla's house, another funeral man, Koenig Wazza, an ANC activist, is buried by his friends and family one more death and one more family torn apart by the political violence that has plagued South Africa for more than 40 years mSATA unicursal Argo UPMC been a Casa la go cuckoo em suddenly a casa la boum Bravo successful between Nava, wasn't he? I forgot: Yaga Mandela has so far failed to rid his country of some of his legacy of violence and hatred, but he has tried to promote an atmosphere of forgiveness in the new South Africa during the election campaign.

South Africa's president-in-waiting launches his party's manifesto. and their vision of a future there are those who would like us to believe that the past does not exist that decades of apartheid regime have suddenly disappeared but the economic and social devastation of apartheid continues our country is also in a disaster yes, I made salsa I said we regret the mistakes of the past and the mistakes due to apartheid and the important thing now is to see how we can repair it to the extent possible and that is why I am not only happy about the fact that we could resolve the political and constitutional differences through negotiations on the new constitution, but that We have decided that we have to work together in the process of socio-economic reconstruction which will hopefully lead to the necessary reparation in regards to the It deals with the mistakes of the past and people come clean about what they did and really recognize the pain and harm to the people of this country.

I think it is very difficult to talk about fair forgiveness. I think it's important that we remember that. our past in this country I think it is important to act as a beacon for those of us who will become the new custodians of our people's future, but we must remember: you can tell if people remember the Holocaust, you must never forget what happened in the past, so no one will ever hold public office in this country and get away with anything even vaguely resembling apartheid. The day is finally coming when we will all be able to vote for a government of our choice.

This is a tribute above all to the efforts and sacrifices of millions. of South Africans the ANC's vision of a South Africa in which people live in peace and with equal opportunities is an idea that sustained me during the prison years of 2007 is an idea for which I was willing to sacrifice my life is now the moment when God, North Africa, hello, thank you, how do you feel about the tube? Should you feel good? I feel very good, I mean, I'm in. I deplore the violence, but in general I think I want to say that our chances of achieving this are very, very good.

They are a remarkable country, however, when you think that before 1990 certain things were illegal, black people couldn't live in areas designated for whites, that's how they do now and the sky has never fallen. It's even more notable that people who previously accepted that it was legal and moral, we are now accepting something that has

changed

some of the help to people who go to the same schools, yes, we still have the aberrations where students are detained children for having the wrong color, but increasingly most people in South Africa would say: "This is really possible, to live as one people, it is possible to use the resources, the substantial resources that God has given us in this country, not for the benefit of just a small clique, but why were we?" so stupid for so long oh oh
