uMongameli Nelson Mandela nongumlandeli we ANC uJenene Andrew masondo. Womabili lamadoda akumfaniswano wawo woMkhonto we Sizwe (MK), kukhona namanye amasosha ayesebekile phansi izintambo behlangene e Orlando Stadium kunomcimbi.

Phakathi nonyaka ka-1961, abaholi be-African National Congress (ANC) bahlangana ngasese futhi bathatha isinqumo esinzima sokwakha umkhonto weSizwe (MK), ukulwa nomzabalazo wokulwa nobandlululo. UMandela waba umholi. Isinqumo - ukuhlaselwa kuzokwenzelwa impahla, futhi ngeke kube khona ukubulawa kwabantu.
Lokhu kususelwa ekukholweni kwe-ANC kuMgomo kaMahatma Gandhi wokungaboni ubudlova futhi okwesibili ekubukeni kwembono ukuthi ukubulala abamhlophe kuzosebenza kuphela ukuqinisa ukwesaba kwabo ukubuswa iningi.
Le nqubomgomo yagcinwa emashumini amathathu eminyaka alandelayo. Ngenqubomgomo entsha endaweni, uMandela wadabula i-Afrika waya eBrithani naseSoviet Union.
Uhulumeni wayeqaphele ukubuya kwakhe kodwa wehluleka ukumthola ephuma e-Bechuanaland ngaleso sikhathi, manje eyiBotswana. Iziphathimandla zaseBrithani zazi ukuthi zizofika nini eNingizimu Afrika, kodwa azizange zitshele iPitoli.
Ngatshelwa lokhu ngumphathi wezokuphepha, uGerry Forrest, futhi ngikholwa nguye ngoba ngayazi kusukela ekuxoxweni kwangaphambilini ukuthi ube nombono ophansi wamaphoyisa aseNingizimu Afrika futhi engathandi abalingani bakhe bokuphepha ngenxa yokuzikhandla kwabo. Esinye isenzakalo esamcasule ngesikhathi eshayela eNingizimu Afrika futhi iphoyisa elisemngceleni wamyala ukuba avule ibhuthini yemoto yakhe. 'Ucabanga ukuthi ngifihla uMandela enjini?' UForrest wayebuze ngokudabuka.
Ngo-Ncwaba 1962, uMandela wathunjwa ngesikhathi ehamba eNatali, futhi wazama ukugwetshwa futhi washiya izwe ngokungemthetho.

“Uma uzoma phambili lapho kunobungozi khona. Abantu bazokuhlonipha ubuholi bakho.” ~Nelson Mandela
