  • That's what I thought when i saw the film: 'give him a hug!' emotions are more important than protocol.

  • @jazzx251 although I agree with everything you say about Mandela, you're completely wrong about not daring to visit any other african country. You should get more information on that. It's a huge continent with other beautiful countries while South Africa is still a very dangerous place to visit and to live in (especially if you're an immigrant).

  • two amazing people who have such incredible respect for each other. makes me proud to see

  • watching this after the movie, Invictus

  • @OuKrokodil

    You say one thing, others say the opposite.

    I can only go by the actions of Mandela after he was released from prison, spending 27 years in there.

    He could have gained power and mercilessly gone after the people who put him in the can.

    He didn't. He chose to break the cycle.Thanks to him, South Africa is now the most respected African country in the World (it's the only one I would dare visit at the moment anyway).

  • @jazzx251 No. He should have been hanged for his crimes in the first place. Even Amnesty International refused to help him, as he was not a political prisoner; he was convicted for acts of terrorism. He should NEVER have been in power.

  • @OuKrokodil

    It was a shit time for everyone.

    Do you not, at least, give credit for Mandela putting on reconciliation tribunals instead of a witchunt when he gained power?

  • @jazzx251 Invictus is a piece of shit movie, and FP is a traitor of the highest order as he knows what the terrorist ANC did under Mandela, ie bombings that killed scores of civilians, women, children.....I hang my head in shame to think that FP is South African, the bloody self-serving quisling and terrorist lover..........
