Okay so I'm not trying to start a debate BUT - I can't help but think that all these RIP Nelson Mandela posts are mostly written by people that know nothing about him. okay he did some great things that he is remembered by, BUT he also did some awful things that most people don't even know about. He signed off on the deaths of innocent people, lots of them. At his trial, he had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilising terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists. In the balance of things i don't think he's as great as people make out!
