Look, we'd have a conversation about the message I was trying to relay, but your approach was shitty. I guess they were right to say being woke has some level of mental illness in it.

I am not South African, but what is happening in South Africa now is a direct causal consequence of Apartheid (a form of White Supremacy domination). Also, South Africa has spent more time under Apartheid in living memory than without Apartheid, and people who are dealing with the effects of the problem of Apartheid now, did not create it. This means there is a learning curve involved and this means that mistakes are going to be made. So if people are going to criticize people who are dealing with the problem of having lived under Apartheid - a problem that they did not actually create - then this criticism should automatically be reality checked. Think if there never was Apartheid (White Supremacy) in South Africa. South Africa is where it is now because of Apartheid.

Lelie tussen die dorings - Causality is a fundamental law of The Universe, so the ORIGINAL cause of this problem is Apartheid (White Supremacy). Your point about communists, was very very interesting. It can be concluded that ideologies originated, developed, propagated by Whites for Whites are not universal and do not serve Blacks; and such ideologies will be used by Whites for collective and global domination over non-Whites, whilst the various White groups fight for supremacy amongst themselves. The above paragraph effectively describes the dynamic of what is happening geopolitically with regards to Blacks and what is described in the following video regarding Blacks following communist ideology:- Yuri Bezmenov: Psychological Warfare and Subversion (1hr) kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5ui0qWqo7uraMo.html

morton christie - Marxist? Did you even READ my other comments that are part of this comment thread? In one comment I stated the following:- "It can be concluded that ideologies originated, developed, propagated by Whites for Whites are not universal and do not serve Blacks; and such ideologies will be used by Whites for collective and global domination over non-Whites, whilst the various White groups fight for supremacy amongst themselves." The above applies also to Marxism, and since I wrote it, I have obviously NOT been subjected to Marxist propaganda, BUT see it for what it really is because this is how it actually functions.
I thought I was just going to watch it for ten minutes, but ended up watching the whole conversation fascinated by this wise man and a true leader who put his life in line for the sake of justice and freedom. long live the spirit of Tambo long live!

We fought the Apartheid oppression but now it has come to a situation where we are having to fight the present BLACK ON BLACK OPPRESSION. This is exactly what the late Nelson Mandela advised us to do and I can't help but think that the late Nelson Mandela knew what was.happening within the ANC at that time and thought in his wisdom, that he had to warn us of the coming OPPRESSION BY THE LIKES OF THE RET FORCES WITHIN THE ANC. MBEKI THOUGHT IT WISE TO NOW WRITE A LETTER TO THE ANC IN ORDER TO BRING THEM BACK ON TO THE PATH OF THE VISION AND PRINCIPLES OF THE ANC'S FOREFATHERS. BUT ARE THEY GOING TO HEED THIS WARNING OR NOT. THE HOVERNMENT HAS ALOT OF LAND LAYING NOT BEING FARMED BUT THEY DO NOT SEEM TO WANT TO SHARE IT WITH THE BLACK INHABITANTS. THEY RATHER CONCENTRATE ON WANTING TO TAKE FROM WHITES WHO ARE TAKING CARE OF THE COUNTRY'S FOOD SECURITY.I DO NOT THINK THAT THE EFF AND ANC ARE KNOWLEDGABLE OF WHAT THEY ARE OR WANT TO DO. WE SHOULD DEFINITELY STEER AWAY FROM POLARIZING PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY AND.ONLY THEN SHALL WE GET ONTO THE RIGHT PATH AND PROSPER THIS COUNTRY.

Julius malema can learn a thing or two about leadership from this iconic leader. Firstly emotional intelligence is very critical for anyone harbouring ambitions or aspirations rather of public office. The self control here immaculate, he makes points politically without ranting and screams. Perfect example of thinking before speaking and understands that a conversation is a two way street. I can truly comprehend now why he is held in high regard and much revered by his peers and the international community.

Oh please people, tomorrow there'll an interview with another great individual, will you say " oh it's a mistake to put Oliver Tambo on money, let's remove him because he's no good let's put another individual? Tambo was ANC activist and a president but was in exile in Britain at the time. Mandela was fighting in SA and living place to place and was the founder and president of umkhonto wesizwe until he was found and arrested as you know about the for 27 years in prison. Moving forward as a ANC president in waiting, he came out take his place and work towards taking the power from previous government and bringing democracy in the country in the process. That's the history you should know. Both these men and other great leaders that are gone now, they passed the baton and couldn't live to watch and babysit the rest of other leaders that followed them, to work processing the rest of freedom to all and all that comes with it. O Tambo came back to SA after Mandela was released and didn't live to see Mandela leading the country. If you think that Tambo, Mandela and Sisulu were working against each other, then you are wrong. They were one and have ONE thing in common, and Mandela's print on money was perfect as he was a first black president of SA and as president of SA they print him only on money as long as the country is under black power and the country is SA, Mzantsi. My dear friend you'll have to put your hatred against our Tata Rholihlahla Madiba Nelson Mandela aside, and wait for for the remaining years to come so that his face be removed by another wise president of the far away future that you won't live to see. Cheer up now and stop comparing our great leaders. Try prayer and think when will God bless you with real wise leaders again, if there will ever be. DUBE, ENOCH SONTONGA, CHIEF LUTHULI, MAKANA, HINTSA, S BAARTMAN Long-lived SPIRIT > of O TAMBO, N MANDELA, W SISULU, ROBERT SOBUKHWE, STEVE BIKO, CHRIS HANI, CATHRADA, WINNIE MADIKIZELA MANDELA, MAXEKE, ALBERTINA Sisulu, LILLIAN NGOYI and all other heroes and sheroes (heroines) like my father whom I won't reveal his name. 🙏May all the men /women, brothers and sisters, uncle and aunts of the struggle enjoy their peaceful, restful genuine life in the most glorious place they humbly work for close to their😇 MAKER AND ALMIGHTY in heaven.

The most productive and underrated leader in south africa.
It must be said that these leaders of the ANC set the bar very high in such way that the current leaders have given up to reach it and resorted to remain mediocre just for survival....
Oliver Tambo! What a gentleman! The President we never had. This is the man who strode the globe like a colossus for the liberation of our people
I was inspired by leaders like him,Albert Luthuli,Harry Gwala,Moses Mabhida,Solomon Mahlangu(the unsung or less appreciated)heroes who I think deserve more recognition for the sacrifices they made to be where we are today because I am forever unsettled by this "media one man show hero" that they have successfully shoved on South Africans.
I always knew Tambo was the brains behind the ANC... he was very careful with his words and a smart man. Love how he explained why MK was formed. Most whites love to criticise... i would really like if they printed the R100 note with his face... Mandela wasn't alone!!

There are "whites" in the world, particularly in Russia and Eastern Europe and Asia - who have no idea that other whites live in Africa. They will live their whole life not knowing this. Just as you will live your whole life knowing nothing about local Korean or Lithuianian politics for example.

I love the end interview. He feared not even if he knew that the regime could possibly eliminate him by assassination. What a Leader. Long live OR Tambo.
OR Tambo remains one remarkable leader. One thing we can always associate him with is the Revolution and Revolutionary leader. His resilience, relentlessness , dedication and high level commitment and visionary leadership sustained the South African revolution in a way that few other leaders in his position and situation did. It is certainly the measure of the man, deeply religious, deep sense of love for his people and their freedom, resolute, unassuming and with remarkable humility yet drive and firmness and principled! He was certainly a special leader, a nation builder and the builder of the foundation for a free and democratic South Africa. Clive Mtshisa

Really great interview. The lady has quite good questions. If one would carefully observe whats happening in our country currently, you will definitely see that what Oliver Tambo said, has and is coming to pass (the outbreak of violence). The last question relating to his Christian walk is one that has continued to be difficult to address even in our times. There has been a growing assumption that one cannot commit to politics when they are christians or religious. I believe that to be deception. I think this discussion is one that should further be addressed with a thorough study on the christian Scriptures on the dilemma.

He was an intellectual and he, also, was pragmatic. Don't forget he passed his BSc degree with first class to become a teacher. He left teaching after Bantu Education was introduced, to study Law, and the rest became history. Nelson Mandela took him in high regard both as a friend and a leader. And an intelligent leader in that.

morton christie The Freedom Charter stipulates that democracy is for ALL in South Africa. It is amalgamated with the universal human rights charter. Affirmative Action is an opportunity to give those who were less fortunate in the past, a chance to succeed across all economic spectrums. Picture a school in the township and a school in the suburbs in the 1980’s. That is vivid as it gets on just one level. You know in heart that Apartheid was wrong and we need to have corrective justice to change that mindset in order to move forward. Judge our young democracy in 20 years and you will see the purpose of AA.

morton christie In 1994 we all achieved political freedom but economic freedom will take another generation to achieve. During Apartheid the father had to only take care of 1 of his 4 children. Then Democracy prevailed and that same father was required by the constitution to provide equally for all of his 4 children with that same R1000. I know you are intelligent enough to process the analogy.
This is very emotionally for me
The last part of the interview where Ntate Tambo speaks about assassination shows a man determined and resolute about freedom for the people of this country, he was in it for the long haul and was not afraid of what might happen to him because it was not about him but it was about the people.I wonder where South Africa would be if he was still alive or if he did not pass away before democracy.
