uMandela waye yimbethi manqindi, kwicala lembethi manqindi ezomeleleyo ngexesha engumfundi Kwi Yunivesithi yase-Fort Hare kodwa uthe akuhlala eGoli wazimisela kulomdlalo. ‘Ndandinge yiyo imbethi manqindi ebalaseleyo’. Ndandinge namandla okundinceda ekucotheni kwam, kwaye ndingakwazi ukukhawulezisa, ukunceda ukungabina mandla kwa. Ndandinga kwakonwabeli ukulwa kweza manqindi, kodwa ndandithanda injongo yawo. Ndandithanda indlela ubani azikhusela ngayo ngomzimba, indlela zokusebenzisa ingqondo ukuzikhusela nokuhlasela.
‘Amanqindi akhululekile. Eringini, ubudala, ibala, nendawo okuyo ebomini, nobutyebi azithethi nto. Zange ndilwe umlo obhadlileyo emveni kokuba ndingene ezopolitiko. Eyona nto ndandiyithanda yayi kukuzilolonga; ndafumana ukuzilolonga ngamandla kuyanceda kakhulu ekukhupheni umva ndedwa nokuqina komzimba.’
‘Emveni kokuzilolonga ngamandla, ndandiziva ngokwengqondo ndikhululekile nase mzimbeni. Yayiyidlela yokuzikhulula kwinto eyayinge nguwo umzabalazo. Emveni kokuzilolonga emva kwemini ndandi vuka ngemini elandelayo ndiziva ndomelele ndivuselelekile, ndikulungele ukuqhubeka nomlo.
