Goodbye Bafana (2007)

Actors

Plot
James Gregory once lived in a farm and had befriended a native youth, Bafana, and had even had a photograph taken with him. Years later, now married to Gloria and father of three children (Chris, Brett, and Natasha), James has nothing but shame and regret, as many South African Caucasians in the oppressive Apartheid-era ridiculed him, leading him to hate Africans. He seeks to redeem himself by spying on imprisoned African National Congress Leader, Nelson Mandela. In the restrictive high security prison his job is to censor all written and verbal communications between prisoners, their visitors, and correspondence. James is uncomfortable when he witnesses Caucasian police and security officers' brutality against civilians, including infants, and tries to understand why Nelson became a rebel. This leads him to examine the 'Freedom Charter', a banned document, reportedly known to incite violence against 'whites'. And when he does read this document, he changes his mind about Nelson's freedom struggle. Soon he, himself, will be alienated by his very own peers. Isolated, he receives death threats over the phone and has to face the trauma of the 'accidental' death of Brett. In addition, he and his family are kept under close watch by the security forces amidst tight economic sanctions by the international community, and growing unrest by the natives who continue their fight for equality, and freedom for Nelson Mandela.

Diana: A Tribute to the People's Princess (1998)

Indeed a tribute, this movie tells the story of Princess Diana's last year, from May 1996 to her fatal accident in August 1997. It focuses on her love affairs with a Pakistani heart surgeon and with Dodi Al Fayed, on her battle with the press, her charity work, and her relationship with her sons. Many scenes re-enact well-known images and moments from this year, and the movie ends on the note that Diana was about to accept Dodi's proposal of marriage when the accident occurred.

South African Prime Minister D. F. Malan: [1948 opening narration; South African police raid & bulldoze a Black shantytown] Mr. Speaker, today South Africa belongs to us. Where we shall be introducing legislation to implement our policy which we call Apartheid-the separation between the races. Races will live and travel separately. Education will be separate for all groups at all levels. Work fitting for the White man will be reserved for him and him alone. Apartheid rests on three unarguable foundations - Afrikaner Experience, Scientific Proof that the White man is a superior being, and Biblical Witness. Apartheid represents divine will.

Famous quotes by Nelson Mandela:

"It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership."

"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."

"After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb."

"As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility."

"If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner."

"There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living."

"It always seems impossible until its done."

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

"And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same"

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

"There is nothing I fear more than waking up without a program that will help me bring a little happiness to those with no resources, those who are poor, illiterate, and ridden with terminal disease."

"Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another."

"I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances."

"I cannot conceive of Israel withdrawing if Arab states do not recognize Israel, within secure borders."

"If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers."

"If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness."

"The United States has made serious mistakes in the conduct of its foreign affairs, which have had unfortunate repercussions long after the decisions were taken."

"I have been influenced in my thinking by both west and east."

"Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace."

"There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty."

Nelson Mandela (1918 - 2013) was a freedom fighter, loved and respected around the world. In his struggle against apartheid, Mandela felt violence was justified. He was considered by the South African government, and many others, to be a terrorist. He was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. During his 27 years in jail, world leaders, pop stars and the public called for his freedom and an end to apartheid. Finally in 1990, at the age of 72, he was freed. Forgiving his oppressors, Mandela negotiated with the South African government, and in 1994 the country held its first free election. Twenty-three million people voted and Mandela won by an overwhelming majority, becoming the first black president of a new South Africa. In his retirement he worked ceaselessly to combat poverty, injustice and HIV. In this Nelson Mandela BBC documentary special, David Dimbleby presents a look back at Nelson Mandela's life - including interviews Dimbleby conducted with Mandela in 2003. World leaders and well-known artists commenting on Mandela's life include Bill Clinton, Archbishop Tutu, Bob Geldof, Annie Lennox and Lenny Henry.

Updated: 07 Dec 2013

In 1990, Nelson Mandela visited the U.S. for the first time after being freed from 27 years of imprisonment in South Africa. During Mandela's visit he also conducted his first interview with Ted Koppel of ABC News. Koppel was then known as one of the toughest and most feared TV reporters and interviewers in America. His ABC news show, "Nightline", was one of the top rated late night programs on television. The interview turned out to be an openly biased attempt to assassinate Nelson Mandela's character, credibility, and cause. With the bulk of Koppel's preselected questioners being either conservative Republican plants, apartheid sympathizers, opponents of Mandela's African National Congress party (ANC), and/or known members of the white supremacists Apartheid regime. Due to the wisdom and strength of Nelson Mandela, the assassination attempt failed miserable. Ted Koppel was never the same man again and eventually slipped into oblivion. Here's a little background on some of the questioners that Ted Koppel preselected: Rev. Calvin Butts - Political crony of former Republican governor of New York George Pataki and major critic of Hip Hop music and culture. Gloria Toote - Conservative Republican who held positions in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan presidential administrations. Koos Van Der Merwe - South African Conservative Party leader and white supremacist. Ken Adelman - Conservative Republican political analyst and diplomat who served under Republican presidents Nixon and Ford. He was later a major proponent of the second Iraq War. Gatsha Buthelezi - Chief Minister Kwazulu and founder of the Inkatha Freedom Party; a political rival of the ANC and Nelson Mandela. Abe Hoppenstein - South Africa's New York City Consul General under the apartheid government, ANC opponent, and white supremacist.

''BREAKING NEWS: Nelson Mandela is Dead'' | OFFICIAL News Announcement President Jacob Zuma

Order: Reorder
Duration: 3:00
Updated: 05 Dec 2013

Nelson Mandela, the former South African president whose stubborn defiance survived 27 years in prison and led to the dismantling of the country's racist and brutal apartheid system, has died. Mandela was 95 years old. South Africa's president says Nelson Mandela has died at age 95. Jacob Zuma says "We've lost our greatest son," South African President Jacob Zuma said in announcing Mandela's death. Mandela had a number of issues with his health in recent years including repeated hospitalizations with a chronic lung infection. Mandela had been listed in "serious but stable condition" after entering the hospital in June before returning to home to receive continued medical care. In April, Mandela spent 18 days in the hospital due to a lung infection and was treated for gall stones in December 2012. Mandela's public appearances had become increasingly rare as he dealt with his declining health. His last public appearance was in July of 2010, when he attended the final match and closing ceremonies of the soccer World Cup held in South Africa. In 2011, Mandela met privately with Michelle Obama when the first lady and her daughters traveled to South Africa. Mandela and the Legacy He Leaves Behind One of the giants of the 20th century, Mandela's career was marked not only by his heroic resistance to racism, but also by his poised and soft spoken demeanor. After enduring nearly three decades of prison, much of it at hard labor in a lime quarry, Mandela emerged as a gentle leader who became South Africa's first black president. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in ending apartheid without violence, and later became a global statesman who inspired millions people around the world. Mandela was born in 1918, the son of a tribal leader, in a remote village in South Africa. His tribal name, Rolihlahla, meant "troublemaker," a moniker Mandela would more than live up to in his lifetime. In 1952, he emerged onto the national stage when he helped organize the first country-wide protests called the Defiance Campaign. That same year he opened the country's first black law firm. Ruth Mopati, his secretary at the firm, wrote about the way he was then in the book "Mandela," saying, "He was able to relate to people with respect and therefore he was respected in return." While Mandela's party, the African National Congress, had always been dedicated to non-violence, in 1960 the ANC was banned to prevent further protests after police shot dead 69 black protestors in what became known as the Sharpeville massacre. The events radicalized the organization and led to the creation of the ANC military wing, for which Mandela became its first commander in 1961. In 1962, Mandela was sent to prison on a charge of inciting a strike. "At 1:30 in the morning, on March 30, I was awakened by sharp, unfriendly knocks at my door, the unmistakable signature of the police. 'The time has come,' I said to myself as I opened the door to find half a dozen armed security policemen," Mandela said. Two years later, Mandela was sentenced to life in prison for sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the white government. Much of the next 27 years in prison were spent in the infamous Robben Island prison where he did hard labor in a lime quarry. During his nearly three decades behind bars, Mandela would become a myth. The government even banned any use of Mandela's image or words, leaving a whole generation to grow up knowing little about the world's most famous political prisoner. Nelson Mandela Teamed Up With White Leader F.W. de Klerk Mandela spoke about his time in his autobiography: "A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones -- and South Africa treated its imprisoned African citizens like animals."

Nelson Mandela: The Fight for Freedom BBC Full Documentary 2013 Nelson Mandela (1918 - 2013)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 94:22
Updated: 09 Dec 2013

Nelson Mandela (1918 - 2013) was a freedom fighter, loved and respected around the world. In his struggle against apartheid, Mandela felt violence was justified. He was considered by the South African government, and many others, to be a terrorist. He was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. During his 27 years in jail, world leaders, pop stars and the public called for his freedom and an end to apartheid. Finally in 1990, at the age of 72, he was freed. Forgiving his oppressors, Mandela negotiated with the South African government, and in 1994 the country held its first free election. Twenty-three million people voted and Mandela won by an overwhelming majority, becoming the first black president of a new South Africa. In his retirement he worked ceaselessly to combat poverty, injustice and HIV. David Dimbleby presents a look back at Nelson Mandela's life - including interviews Dimbleby conducted with Mandela in 2003. World leaders and well-known artists commenting on Mandela's life include Bill Clinton, Archbishop Tutu, Bob Geldof, Annie Lennox and Lenny Henry

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, dont le nom du clan tribal est « Madiba », né le 18 juillet 1918 à Mvezo (Union d'Afrique du Sud) est un homme d'État sud-africain ; il a été l'un des dirigeants historiques de la lutte contre le système politique d'apartheid avant de devenir président de la République d'Afrique du Sud de 1994 à 1999, à la suite des premières élections nationales non raciales de l'histoire du pays. Nelson Mandela entre au Congrès national africain (ANC) en 1944, afin de lutter contre la domination politique de la minorité blanche et la ségrégation raciale menée par celle-ci. Devenu avocat, il participe à la lutte non violente contre les lois de l'apartheid, mises en place par le gouvernement du Parti national à partir de 1948. L'ANC est interdit en 1960, et la lutte pacifique ne donnant pas de résultats tangibles, Mandela fonde et dirige la branche militaire de l'ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, en 1961, qui mène une campagne de sabotage contre des installations publiques et militaires. Le 12 juillet 1963, il est arrêté par la police sud-africaine sur indication de la CIA, puis est condamné à la prison et aux travaux forcés à perpétuité lors du procès de Rivonia. Dès lors, il devient un symbole de la lutte pour l'égalité raciale et bénéficie d'un soutien international croissant. Après vingt-sept années d'emprisonnement dans des conditions souvent très dures, Mandela est relâché le 11 février 1990, et soutient la réconciliation et la négociation avec le gouvernement du président Frederik de Klerk. En 1993, il reçoit avec ce dernier le prix Nobel de la paix pour avoir conjointement et pacifiquement mis fin au régime d'apartheid et jeté les bases d'une nouvelle Afrique du Sud démocratiqueN 1. Après une transition difficile où de Klerk et lui évitent une guerre civile entre les partisans de l'apartheid, ceux de l'ANC et ceux de l'Inkhata à dominante zoulou, Nelson Mandela devient le premier président noir d'Afrique du Sud en 1994. Il mène une politique de réconciliation nationale entre Noirs et Blancs ; il lutte contre les inégalités économiques, mais néglige le combat contre le sida, en pleine expansion en Afrique du Sud. Après un unique mandat, il se retire de la vie politique active, mais continue à soutenir publiquement le Congrès national africain tout en condamnant ses dérives. Impliqué par la suite dans plusieurs associations de lutte contre la pauvreté ou le sida, élevé au rang de patrimoine commun de l'humanité1, il demeure une personnalité mondialement écoutée au sujet des droits de l'homme et est salué comme le père d'une Afrique du Sud multiraciale et pleinement démocratique, qualifiée de « nation arc-en-ciel », même si le pays reste confronté à de graves problèmes d'inégalités économiques, de tensions sociales et de replis communautaires.

Here is a 1990 video from my collections. I got this tape from ABC in a VHS in 1990, I recently transferred it to a DVD format so I can share with all. It is a 1990 Town Hall meeting with Nelson Mandela of South Africa anchored by Ted Koppel on ABC Nightline in New York. This meeting was among the programs planned for the First visit of Nelson Mandela to USA, immediately he was released after 27 years in prison. I served as a volunteer in the Oakland Ca. planning committee with Representative Ron Dellon as our chairman. I was and still deeply moved and impressed by his response to questions. I have watched this video for up to 100 times, and every time I do I would want to watch it over and over again. The main reason has been that Ted Koppel was/is regarded then/now as a hard core interviewer, while on the other hand Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years. So we were worried that Nelson Mandela was going to be beaten black, red and blue. That after the interview we were going to have a lot of spin job to do. But alas Nelson Mandela made us all proud because he held his ground and eloquently explained his positions and that of the ANC. This was the first time I saw this ICON speak and it has affected my life ever since. Although its been 23 years now, please after watching let me know your thoughts.

1990 Town Hall Meeting with Nelson Mandela of South Africa. This meeting, held in New York and chaired by Ted Koppel of ABC Networks, formed part Nelson Mandela's first visit to the USA immediately following his release after 27 years in prison. Much of the meeting focused on Nelson Mandela's advocating of sanctions against Apartheid South Africa, his support for the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) as well as his close friendship with Yasser Arafat (of Palestine) and Fidel Castro (of Cuba). It is important to note that this meeting took place in 1990, long before the world embraced Nelson Mandela or the ANC, yet, even then, Mandela stood firm and resolute on his and the ANC's policies even though it could have "hurt" his and the ANC's "image", for example his support for the Palestinian and Cuban people.
