RIP Madiba.
Most of the 80's? It was more like 30 years. As for being a criminal.. some would disagree with that and state he was an activist with a cause. Granted I don't know my Mandela history but I am pretty sure it was all non violent in nature?
"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 live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
- Nelson Mandela (1918 - 2013)
yes.Whose to say that had he been arrested and imprisoned for actual crimes he may have committed, he would likely never have been freed and the world would probably know him as a different man?
yes.
and whose to say that had I been the King of England, we would likely refer to me as King Jackass?
