Quotes edit see section history

  • “It was during those long and lonely years <in prison> that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated as surely as the oppressed. A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of predjudice and narrow-mindedness. When I walked out of prision, that was my mission, to liberate the oppressed and the opressor both...We have not taken the final step of our journey, but the first step on a longer and even more difficult road. For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that repects and enhances the freedom of others."”
    Nelson Mandela

First Sentence edit see section history

APART FROM LIFE, a strong constitution, and an abiding connection to the Thembu royal house, the only thing my father bestowed upon me at birth was a name, Rolihlahla.
