Both Standard Bank and Nedbank estimate the number of murders in South Africa at around 43 000 per years. The majority of murders on whites are preceded by hours of violent torture, whilst nothing is stolen.
The South African Police Service’s Forensic Services prepared a report in 1998, maintaining that the ANC was involved in the murder of farmers. The public release of the report was however, vetoed, by Nelson Mandela, and never saw the light of day.

Please note, however, that nowhere has he condemned the killing of white farmers or Mugabe’s attitudes towards the West and white Zimbabweans. I had to laugh when I saw a book on Google co-authered by Mandela and Fidel Castro “How far we slaves have come!” – pity it never featured on Oprah’s book club!

I am a SA citizen.
If only the world knew who and what Nelson Mandela really is…[Please tell us; we’re listening… & writing.–IM]

Then again, if they really knew ( and there is some who really know), would they care ?

ONLY GOD Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth can help us.

Blessings
SA-Citizen

But would like to know your views on him, being that you were “there”. If that is ok to ask.
