There are leaders who know that however furious the debate, there are good men and women in all population groups - amongst blacks, amongst whites, and amongst Afrikaans and English speaking people.
Nelson MandelaI and some colleagues came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be wrong and unrealistic for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. It was only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of political struggle.
Nelson MandelaYour victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to dream of wanting to change the world for a better place.
Nelson MandelaWe can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference.
Nelson Mandela
