Question

What is the contradictory pictures of South Africa by the Nelson Mandela ??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nelson Mandela one of the heroic figures of the 20th century, whose struggle against apartheid led to his imprisonment for 27 years, selection as co-recipient of the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with South African president F.W. de Klerk, and subsequently elected as de Klerk’s successor, died on Thursday at his Johannesburg home, the government announced. He was 95.

“Our nation has lost its greatest son," President Jacob Zuma of South Africa said in a televised address on Thursday night.

“The world’s favourite fairy tale," Mandela’s friend and biographer Anthony Sampson once called his story. “The prisoner released from the dark dungeon, the pauper who turns out to be a prince, the bogeyman who proves to be the wizard."

It was a fairy tale of global import. Mandela’s release from prison on 11 February 1990 marked the culmination of a worldwide upheaval that had begun the previous spring with the democracy movement in Tiananmen Square and continued with the fall of the Berlin Wall in November. “It was as if God had taken a hand—a new turn in world history," de Klerk confided to his brother.

“He no longer belongs to us. He belongs to the ages," US President Barack Obama said at the White House on Thursday. “I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s life. And like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set."

Even more astonishing, perhaps, than the train of events that brought Mandela to lead the nation that had so long imprisoned him was how well he met the demands of his larger-than-life role. Hidden from the world for nearly three decades, he had been mythologized into a storybook figure. Yet Mandela somehow managed to make the storybook real. The flesh-and-blood man turned out to be even more impressive than the version the world had put on a pedestal. Blending principle and pragmatism, he forgave his jailers, shunned all talk of bitterness, and became a symbol of national reconciliation.

“If this man wasn’t there, the whole country would have gone up in flames," observed Desmond Tutu, the retired Anglican archbishop of Cape Town and himself a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
