Mandela’s legacy queried

THE article, “Mandela’s legacy is in jeopardy” (The Star, December 7) refers: UDM leader Bantubonke Holomisa has been quoted as having lamented that Nelson Mandela’s legacy was in “jeopardy and that state capture must be defeated, and those who are captured charged”.

Which legacy of Mandela is he, and other people such as Professor Njabulo Ndebele, talking about? Of selling out and being exposed by Stephen Dorril and former MI6 officer, Richard Tomlinson as an MI6 agent? Why did PAC stalwart, Jafta Masemola, die six months after disagreeing with Nelson Mandela? Masemola died in a typical MI6 style assassination which disguises assassinations as car accidents.

Holomisa doesn’t even understand that Nelson Mandela didn’t spend 27 years in prison. He spent only 18 years on Robben Island and was moved to Pollsmoor, then to a house of a former prison warder at Victor Verster. Mandela says it in his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom.

Does Holomisa understand what a guiding light is? I bet he doesn’t. If Mandela practised sensible leadership, there wouldn’t be disunity in the liberation organisations and glaring social and political upheavals in the country. If he believed in consensus there would have been a better resolution to this country’s socio-economic problems.

The PAC’s second president, Zeph Mothopeng, went to his grave denouncing Mandela for selling out. And Mandela was not committed to constitutionalism since this country’s constitution was drafted by Harry Oppenheimer, not the African people.

The ANC and Nelson Mandela, with the help of their western imperialist backers, stole the 1994 elections, something their partner-in-crime FW de Klerk revealed on a tour of the Netherlands. He said that, during the 1994 elections, a million votes were stolen for one man and one organisation.

Yes, state capture must be defeated and those who are captured must be charged and prosecuted. However, the likes of Holomisa are suffering from selective morality and double standards. Mandela was himself captured by the Rothschilds, Oppenheimers and the Ruperts.

Why didn’t the likes of Holomisa call for Mandela to be charged and prosecuted? Those who captured the Mandelas and the Mbekis must face the music. Thabo Mbeki even lousily tried to deny the existence of white monopoly capital in an interview with Given Mukhari. However, the term white monopoly capital is ubiquitous in ANC and SACP literature and Mbeki was a member of both during exile.

By the way, Mandela didn’t die on December 5, he died in July four years ago as his former physician Dr Vejay Ramlakan whose book, Mandela’s Last Years, which was recalled from bookstores, revealed, as well as many other sources. They just terminated his life support and announced his death on December 5, to coincide with the birthdate of PAC founding President Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe.

Holomisa and his ilk must stop feeding us pig’s breakfast. We will never grow tried of pointing out the truth to the African people. Tebogo Brown
