Ah, such blatant hypocrisy. Mandela and the ANC accepted support from and supported despots. Do you really want to go there, given the not so distant histories of some of the greatest democracies of our times, most notably ours?

 

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Again, I pose the question. Where is the line drawn when freedom is denied?

 

The man endured years of oppression, and more years of imprisonment, yet emerged to heal a country, reconcile with and include his oppressors in the new South Africa, and avoided the bloodbath that occurred in so many other similar situations.

 

Rev. Meshoe is an admirer of Nelson Mandela. He understands what he meant to South Africa.
