Inaugation of Nelson Mandela South Africa 1994

[darthen856]

It is unfortunate that the ANC of today has strayed from Mandela's vision here. Today it is the DA that is best upholding his rainbow dream. South Africa has been through tough times, at the hands of the racists nats but also at the hands of the corrupt ANC that are in power now. However, I see this as an, perhaps inevitable, transitional period from Apartheid. When the DA takes over, SA will become the prosperous nation it has the potential to be, with a truly non-racial government.

[M424Filmcast]

@darthen856 I don't know much about the DA, but I do know that Madiba is, was, and always will be an inspiration to me. He is truly the "Father of a Nation". Viva Madiba! Viva! Mayibuye Afrika!

I am looking forward to the day when I reach the shores of the Rainbow Nation.

The beginning of the end...

There are no white-supremacists in online discussions, because online discussions are faceless.

In online discussions, there are only the intelligent and the ignorant. The courageous and the cowardly.

[MrGrevy]

In 1961, Mandela became the leader of the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (translated as Spear of the Nation, also abbreviated as MK), which he co-founded. He coordinated a sabotage campaign against military and government targets, and made plans for a possible guerrilla war if sabotage failed to end apartheid. A few decades later, MK did wage a guerrilla war against the regime, especially during the 1980s, in which many civilians were killed. He was a terrorist.

[Vogelfrei777]

@MrGrevy

Yeah, right Knobhead.

Ronald 'Dickhead' Reagan and Margaret 'I am the biggest twat in human history' Thatcher thought the same.

Following your drift Sophie Scholl and the other members of "Die Weiße Rose" were also terrorists. As well as Stauffenberg and the officiers of the 20 July plot. And don't forget good ole George Washington.

[MrGrevy]

@Vogelfrei777 Wow what an intelligent comment. No, Reagan was not a terrorist and neither was Thatcher. What planet do you live on again? Yes, Mandela was a terrorist. The tv/movie educated people like yourself don't understand that, but it's ok. Making irrelevant comments about George Washington only makes you look stupid.

[Vogelfrei777]

@MrGrevy

What the fuck are you talking about? I never called them terrorists. My statement was: Reagan and Thatcher thought Mandela is a terrorist.

What? It's irrelevant to mention people like Stauffenberg who did exactly the same like Mandela. What about the 'Resistance' in France during the German occupation? Were they Terrorist too?

Calling people terrorist who fight a racist inhuman minority regime of conquerors is just bloody rubbish my friend.

[Hi8380]

South Africa is simply a beautiful country.

[MrGrevy]

@Hi8380 Oh yeah what a great country. Second highest murder rate in the world and african savages raping babies because they think it cures aids. Disgusting.

[Hi8380]

@MrGrevy Yep, a great country.

[nicoladutoit]

This isn't his address to the people of Cape Town (that was in 1990, after his release from prison). It's footage from his inauguration at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.

[rhod5566]

the beginng of the end of civilization in south africa. tetarded mandela is nothing more than a feeble minded black savage

[rhod5566]

the beginng of the end of civilization in south africa.mandela is nothing but a feeble minded black savage

[decius51]

Frank Willem De Klerk was a traitor.

Mandela is a terrorist who killed a lot of good men.

[TrickyEmu]

Man! Stop hating. Apartheid ignored more than 70% of the population. It will take decades until they reach modern standards of living, but South Africa is going into the right direction. The last elections showed that other parties have the power to compete. Compare that to many other African countries where one party rules over everything.

[WhoaJ30]

while you're right apartheid was evil, the problem in SA today is that other parties don't actually compete with the ANC. And this is what South Africa's biggest threat is today: the ANC becoming Mugabe II

[TrickyEmu]

@WhoaJ30 Don't worry. Your Republic is just 14 years old. It will come very soon. Look at the win of the Democratic Alliance in Western Cape. Let the DA rule there until people see that it is better

[griffonsa]

The day South Africa died....

[Lousypenguin]

Curse you ANC scum! You have ruined in SA in 16 years, well done you assholes.

[VanSisean]

FW De Klerk...0:14

[ezulu]

thats not the parade in cape town ,but the union buildings in pretoria...

[DaSlug32]

Good to see Zuma has got the Xhosa's out of power. Mandela & Mbeki are history.

[bittenof]

whenever blacks take over,theres widespread corruption,murder of rivals,economy destroyed and often civil wars.there not fit to rule themselves.if the whites carried on like they do,they would be hell on.

[elmurguista]

LOL what an idiot! Another jackass white supremacist?

[275boobyz]

nelson mandela is the maaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Spamoy12]

I would like to see Obama and Mandela meet, the atomosphere here reminded me of the inguageration yesterday

[farmgenocide]

You BLACKS must be VERY PROUD.

You took over a perfect South Africa from the Whites a FIRST WORLD COUNTRY and in 14 years turned it into a SQUATTER SLUM with the MOST INCOMPETENT CORRUPT ANC GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD.

Crime, Rape, Murder, Bribery, Fraud, Theft and Corruption Everywhere.

ANC 1994 to 2008 today 300,000 South Africans murdered.

35,000 Whites + 3,000 White Afrikaner Farmers murdered.

89 MURDERS PER DAY in South Africa.

1 RAPE every 17 Seconds, RAPING CHILDREN + GOATS

[splutonium]

what a stupid statement The south African econmy has tripled in the past 3 years. Murder is down 20 % since 1997 (48 per day)..the comment about raping children and goats is just stupid typical nerutoic bullshit.

[lBRON1000]

farmgenocide, the country was far from perfect when blacks took over. The apartheid goverment managed to steer us through a decade long recession. Yeah south africa is dangerous but that is largely due to poverty, which does blur ones judgement, nfortunately ordinary Saffas pay the price. You speak as though blacks are the only ones capable of unspeakable acts, need I remind you of austrian man.

[farmgenocide]

GENOCIDE: ARREST THE ANC GOVERNMENT South Africa GUILTY of MURDER & GENOCIDE South Africa 1994 to 2008_08_28

Genocide and systematic eradication of Whites and White Farmers sponsored by the ANC GOVERNMENT and fuelled by their Racist Policies, Racist Songs and double standards legislation. Farm Genocide in South Africa

+- 3000 White Farmers Tortured and Brutally Murdered.

+-10000 White Farmers injured.

+-100 000 Farm Attacks BLACK RACIST HATE CRIMES AGAINST WHITES.

[splutonium]

Someoen give this neurotic head case a hug (or a labotomy)

[dizzo95]

The most endangered ethic group in the world today are white South African Farmers. The killing of white Afrikaner farmers in South Africa is intensifying, as members of the ethnic minority attempt to draw international attention to their plight.

According to a journalist covering the killings in South Africa, since the Marxist ANC took power in 1994, over 2,000 farmers have been murdered in the nation.

[tshepzozo]

hahahahahah

[kps81]

how many black south-african, the owners of this land were killed by thos white criminals? u can ask ? i dont think so, so you better zip it about your white farmers, you dont know what ur talking about.

[dizzo95]

The problem with South Africa now is overcrowding and poverty. Before 1948 The Union of South Africa was a union of a independent nations, ruled by African chiefs that where independent of white rule and by whites. ( black and white reservations ) It was after 1948 strict enforcment of territorial laws within the Union where an issue. If illegal an alien crossed over the border in your country ,then demanded to be a citizen when they never where before ,would that be OK ?

[dizzo95]

From Wikipedia: "About 55% of South Africa's population lived in the Bantustans ( self governing , independent African reservations ) ; the remainder lived in South Africa proper, many in townships, shanty-towns and slums on the outskirts of South African cities. This was, among other reasons, because the economy of white South Africa depended on access to a black labour force "

[procax0]

bullshit, overcrowded? Germany for example has about 8 times as many people per km². And I've beent o townships, many are not as white prejudice makes them appear to be.

[splutonium]

Again...total bollocks. 2% of murders in South Africa happens to white people. They are the least affected by crime. So spare us the bullshit please.

[dizzo95]

Apart from the Higtest Murder Rate in the World : In general ( if you live in a safe area ) is life better now in South Africa or was it better 20 years ago ? ( I look at what has happened in Zimbabwe - Rhodesia and worry the same fate will happen in a few decades )

[procax0]

South Africa does NOT have the highest murder rate in the world, and also South Africa has a better AVERAGE lifestyle (among ALL people) than any other country in the world.

[dizzo95]

Correct - Colombia - South America has the highest murder rate - then South Africa - ( Zimbabwe has one of the lowest I might add ) still the most endangered ethic group today in the World are White South African Farmers - people that have lived there for over 400 years.

[procax0]

yup correct (colombia), but white south african farmers are not an ethnic group. white is an ethnic group. farmer is a job and south african is a nationality.

[irishkerry]

white farmers took it from blacks so blacks took it back thats life..

[dizzo95]

South Africa had a violent past with slavery and civil wars, whites fighting other whites, Rhodesia 1890-1980 was the nicer place, from 1964-1980 it was like a baby United States and blacks ( and whites ) could vote if they had 1000 pounds, dollars of property, Rhodesia - Zimbabwe would have had better civil rights like the United States, if it was able to survive - the white people there where kind of lucky Mugabe didn't take their farms until 20 years past from 1980.

[JohanHR]

The black population in South Africa has grown from 80 000 in 1823 to over 60 million in 2005. This blacks lived in Kwa Zulu Natal, as they to the day have not been able to build themselves a house with a door or come up with any better weapon than a spear to protect themselves against lions that ate them.

When the whites moved in land, the blacks followed them, raped their woman, stole their cattle, murdered them, until Verwoerd came along and made a rule called apartheid.

[thrashistheshit]

The ignorant layman fuckhead again! Not Verwoerd, D.F Malan - 1948

[JohanHR]

@thrashistheshit LOL

[hanros98]

@JohanHR sorry just a minute, let's start again

when the whites moved in, they killed the natives, made them slaves and stole their land. this causes the natives to strike back. whites take control and pretend it's their homeland and made a rule called apartheid. blacks discriminated in their own land causes anger making native people like mandela to launch attacks, the only way to get attention of the government. pressure from the world and rallies at home release mandela. ~simples~ really

[DaSlug32]

What rock are you sleeping under? You need to see the world. South Africa may not have the highest Murder rate it has the 2nd or 3rd after Columbia & Russia.

Average white person perhaps, but the vast majority live on a meager wage. Unemployment 25 to 30%.

[procax0]

unemployment is 21.7% in 2008, the year before it was about 25%. that is quite an improvement. I doubt you have seen more of the world than me, I've been to many countries, I have lived in Germany, as well as South Africa, and I have been to and slept in the townships outside Cape Town. Don't tell me I am sleeping under a rock

[DaSlug32]

I've been to Germany (southern parts) great place, I was disappointed to leave. Any way, I've placed my money on the Zulu's, the xhosa looks like their future is grim. Mbeki tried hard to keep Zuma out, but the Xhosa is a minority black group and like the white minority they were finally defeated. As far as stats go, the ANC has manipulated figures for the last 8 years, I had a high level contact at Statistics SA - scary stuff how they dictate.

[MrGrevy]

@procax0 THen the negroids strarved to death because they couldn't work the farms! I love it.

[thabo247]

fu*k all of you think this day was the worst u whites are lucky we did not kill you all

[VagabondShoes]

Great and historic moment.

[corry777]

worst day in south africas history

[Seltue12]

Best day in Africa.

[exm5fe03]

this is not good

[HENLUKE]

Interesting comment; over 300 years of segregation and u expect things to just smoothen over; you are really mistaken. You people have one thing in common; hated competetion; as soon the previladge of being born white is taken from u; you can not stomach the guts of the game; As u move out; we will take our right full places; places u denied us for millenia

[Bliksem6845]

I wonder if world leaders know how bad it is going in South-Africa? Last year alone 20,000+ people lost their lives due to violent crime in South-Africa, thousands upon thousands of women were raped in South-Africa last year! It is not going well in South-Africa at all! I fled South-Africa with my family because of the above. Apartheid sucked but the Bloody New South-Africa is a complete nightmare.
