Answers
The unintended effect of decades of oppression and brutality in South Africa produced great characters like, Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Chief Luthuli, Yusuf Dadoo, Bram Fischer and Robert Sobukwe. These personages fought for the rights of the colored people.
On the day when Mandela was going to be sworn in as the President of South Africa, he remembered the sacrifices and sufferings of all these great people who had fought against apartheid; honoring them he stated that he was the sum of all those great personages and people who had sacrificed their lives for equality, liberty, and freedom. In a way he paid a tribute to those people.
Mandela thought that the decades of brutality and oppression had an unintended effect of creating many African patriots with unimaginable heights of character. Thus, he felt that the greatest wealth of South Africa is its people.
