It was 20 years ago to the day (11th February 1990), that Nelson Mandela was released from prison, after spending 27 years for his fight for the freedom of South Africa from Apartheid. Most of a certain age will remember the day well...

One of the things that always sticks in my mind was Margaret Thatcher's comment she made in the 80s when the world was starting to wake up to the injustice of Mandela's imprisonment and apartheid - she branded Mandela a "terrorist" - what a joke - when the real terrorists had been terrorising the indigenous for decades.

That was then, this is now.... and today Mandela is regarded as one of the world's most revered and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.

"During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for. But, my Lord, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die". Nelson Mandela

The images in the video have been taken from Nelson Mandela's autobiography "A Long Walk To Freedom" (Ed. 1 - 1994)
