On the day of inauguration Mandela was overwhelmed with a sense of freedom: True
Explanation:
- Following over three decades of White rule, Nelson Mandela became the first black president in Southern Africa, with 252 out of the 400 seats won by Mr. Mandela in the first democratic elections in South Africa's history.
- The ceremonies were held in Pretoria's stunning sandstone amphitheater, formed by the Union Buildings in Pretoria. It had once been the center of white supremacy for decades and now it is the site for a diverse array of various colors and nations to create the first inclusive, non-racial government in South Africa.
- A few moments later the newly sworn in ministers and the President Nelson Mandela, lifted their eyes in awe as a brilliant array of South African helicopters, jets, and troop carriers roared in perfect formation over the Union Building. It was a display of pinpoint precision and military force, and a demonstration of the military’s loyalty to the new government , to democracy which had been fairly and freely elected.
- Moments before this spectacular display, the highest generals of the South African police and defence force, their chests bedecked with medals and ribbons from days gone by, saluted Neslon Mandela and pledged their loyalty. Mandeal was not unaware of the fact many years before these officials would not have saluted hime but arrested Mandela.
- Seeing all these Nelson Mandela said that "On the day of the inauguration, I was overwhelmed with a sense of history". The white-skinned people of South Africa patched up their differences and create a regime of ethnic hegemony against the dark peoples of their countries in the first decade of the 20th century, a few years after the violent Anglo-Boer war. The structure they created formed the basis of one of the harshest, most inhumane societies which the world has ever known
- Now, in the last decade of the 20th century, that system overturned once for all and replaced by one which recognised the rights and freedoms of all peoples, irrespective of the colour of their skin
