NO...get your facts right Mandela did not get us out of this Apartheid mess.
there are so many people involved..he was elected as a representative...that does not mean he did nothing, but he did not do it alone and he says it all the time, there were people in exile studing learning in order to fight from outside and within the rules.so with or without him i would be here typing a response to you. he actually kinda sold people a dream, he is an idealist and a purist a man of principle but the world we live in is not like that, its capitalistic and very unforgiving..hence me saying Mbeki is fixing his mess.
public relations which Mbeki does so little of is not the only duty of a president, so just coz Mbeki is not visibly public does not mean he is in his expensive jet drinking whisky smoking a cigar..motherf***er is having sleepless night which should be the case with any president..
with that sed..thank god for mandela becuase without him ..blacks and whites would still be "enemies" he united us on a rainbow nation dream.
