On 12 June 1964, Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment, and sent to Robben Island.
The then Afrikaans government - in its typical foresighted fashion - believed that that was the end of it.
Wrong.
It had exactly the opposite effect. Mandela became their worst possible nightmare - a world renowned martyr - with him and his wife celebrated as peaceful freedom fighters. He has been compared to Ghandi

Anria - somebody else said the same thing to me. I intend to. As well as continuing my questions here.
Those links are not my views, by the way, but a matter of historical record.

tiisetsemo - she wasn't really acquitted, this is what happened...

...as you can see, she still has blood on her hands. Sociopath.
Nelson Mandela never renounced violence because that is the tactic that all terrorists use. To set THEMSELVES up as the oppressors.

Kim - so now independent observers are liars, too. Everyone's out to get the Proud South Africans.
I suppose the link with 'Madibe' - what a quaint name - singing about his plans for whites is a computer graphic.
Or can you explain it away some other way?
I love the internet.

Oh geyser! I think Winnie was acquited of the charges against her.About P.W Botha offering Mandela freedom in exchange for him to publically renounce violence, Mandela disagreed to do it not because he was supporting violence.He did this because he knew that the end of the Apartheid era was inevitable and was approaching soon.He wasn't about to put power into the "oppressor's" hands.

i ought to positioned the answer in 2 ranges. at the start, as rightly observed by making use of previous responders too, that's genuinely a technical aspect that the guy being talked about by making use of the sobriquet changed into male, so it had to be "Father of..", ought to no longer were "mom". And that's a undeniable reality that lots of the sobriquets were earned by making use of the adult males over the historic past {both solid and undesirable, ideas you! :-) } as an instance, interior the field of clinical invention, the in reality lady call that is composed of my ideas off the hand is that of Madam Curie. the 2d aspect is that of gender bias in theory. i trust whoever has the right to position in writing historic past, will nudge it into his/her decide on. considering adult males have oftentimes been the historic past-makers (back, both solid and undesirable!) as well because the historic past-recorders, i trust the sobriquets are more advantageous for them. curiously, on your rationalization given in question, why is "God" taken interior the masculine time period in reality! And the most suitable aspect is that i do no longer conform to blanket statements like "mom is the author" or to sobriquets like "Father/mom of..." commonly. that's a clinical undeniable reality that both mum and dad are both necessary in introduction. Why attempt to furnish undue value to both one in each of them? value is balanced, no longer skewed, so why attempt to tilt the stability to both one aspect.
