Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (/mænˈdɛlə/; born Rolihlahla Mandela (Xhosa pronunciation: [xoˈliːɬaɬa manˈdeːla]); 18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013) was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black chief executive, and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalised racism and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically an African nationalist and democratic socialist, he served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) party from 1991 to 1997. Internationally, Mandela was Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999.
A Xhosa born to the Thembu royal family, Mandela attended Fort Hare University and the University of Witwatersrand, where he studied law. Living in Johannesburg, he became involved in anti-colonial politics, joining the ANC and becoming a founding member of its Youth League. After the Afrikaner minority government of the National Party established apartheid – a system of racial segregation that privileged whites – in 1948, he rose to prominence in the ANC's 1952 anti-apartheid Defiance Campaign, was appointed superintendent of the organisation's Transvaal chapter and presided over the 1955 Congress of the People. Working as a lawyer, he was repeatedly arrested for seditious activities and, with the ANC leadership, was unsuccessfully prosecuted in the Treason Trial from 1956 to 1961. Influenced by Marxism, he secretly joined the South African Communist Party (SACP). Although initially committed to non-violent protest, in association with the SACP he co-founded the militant Umkhonto we Sizwe in 1961, leading a sabotage campaign against the government. In 1962, he was arrested, convicted of conspiracy to overthrow the state, and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Rivonia Trial.

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.

Plot: Indeed a tribute, this movie tells the story of Princess Diana's last year, from May 1996 to her fatal accident in August 1997.

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 an...
The most in-depth, insightful and engrossing documentary on Nelson Mandela during the "hottest" years of the struggle between 1985 to 1994, spanning before his prison release to the ANC's momentous campaign to form government by 1994. It features the liberation struggles of the ANC, negotiations between the National Party and Mandela/ANC before and after Mandela's prison release, battles between the ANC and Zulu fighters who were organized and trained through a Third Force of National Party/ secret police agents, and ultimately the alliance between the ANC and National Party against the extreme alliance of white and black social reactionaries (AWB and Terre Blanche, IFP and Bop/Tribal State governments). Despite an intensely complex situation rife with violence, hate, and division, M...

"This Week" looks back at Ted Koppel's historic interview with Nelson Mandela, days after his release from prison in Feb. 1990.
21 May, 1961 Nelson Mandela, already a leading figure in resistance to apartheid, was asked by ITN's Brian Widlake, for his views about the campaign to secure the franchise for South Africa's black population. It is part of a longer ITN Roving Report news programme about Apartheid.
Ted Koppel, first to interview Mandela after his release from prison, asked an unexpected question.

An interview with Nelson Mandela's ex-wife Winnie Mandela and their daughter Zindzi. Winnie, 76, was married to Nelson Mandela, 94, for nearly 40 years, and claims to know him better than anyone else. "Nobody knows him better than I do," she said. "It is extremely painful to see him going through what he is going through now." During the interview, she was sitting next to their daughter Zindzi Mandela and both say they are offended at claims the former South African president's family have considered asking doctors to end his life. "It is nonsense to suggest we needed to take a decision," said Winnie. Zindzi added: "He is deciding what is happening with himself. "It is between him and his maker, it has nothing to do with us whatsoever." The mother and daughter also commented on a phot...

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 ...
Nelson Mandela’s relationship with the Clinton family reflected a genuine friendship, stemming from their matching personalities and the Clintons’ intellect, according to an insider account. “It’s quite noticeable how broad their view was of the world, how informed they all are — all three of them — about all details of the very small countries around the world,” Zelda la Grange, the woman who served as Mandela’s private secretary from 1997 until his death, said in an interview about her new memoir, “Good Morning, Mr. Mandela.”
