"Our problems are other people's fault" When we think our problems are other people’s fault, we look for them to change. We make ourselves victims and immobilize ourselves with this thinking. We can't change the past, we can't change how others think, the only thing you can actually change is how you think. Change comes from within.

I hear that young lady's point. If I were to rephrase it it would be "What would be the point of acquiring land with the current corrupt system which would; from their record these past years; use it for self interest and instead of the interests of the people?" It sounds like she has no faith in the system (and current black leadership) to carry out the intentions of expropriating land. The Stalin example is a bad one though. If that's her observation I respect it but I disagree with it.

I'll have you know things are stacked against everyone born after Apartheid. Because this bigoted government cares about nothing but it's own agenda. From a white guys perspective, 28 years today, Black people have been running the show they vote for all these bias assholes who don't even care about their voters, but are always there to shove victim rhetoric down everyones throats and how they need to fight for a struggle, that doesn't actually exist. It's been 28 years, the nation is worse off than ever and you wanna blame other people again? Make laws to spite them? Take their assets because of their skin colour? They can't govern and build a successful nation to save their lives so its easier to just take from others, and to do so, they suckered all their voters into still believing their being oppressed somehow, when they are the oppressor. EFF and ANC and former BLF. Fabricate a struggle to make themselves relevant and to gain political power. But looking at Africa's history, this shit has played out for decades, over and over, and Africa has gotten nowhere, and now the majority are voting for the very people who will lead them down the path to make those very same mistakes. Instead of teaching them the value of education, self Improvement, to build a future. But that's not whats happening at all. Infact the education system is all but shot, so now you have easily influenced fools going by what the government tells them to believe. Who are so easily trigger than a white person saying the wrong word is shat on by the entire God damn country, but the EFF is allowed to be openly racist. Untill the majority doesn't let go of this victim mindset, thinking there's always some struggle, we'll never get anywhere because nations are not built by victims, but pioneers. Far too few of these idiots understand that, and the few who do, are just gonna go unheard like most all minorities who's vote is drowned out by all other idiot voter, voting for all the wrong reasons. You know how any of us young folks get jobs anymore? By being lucky enough to know someone, or by simply leaving the country, because where else can we go? I myself have more qualifications than most people in this country, but I've spent longer being unemployed because this country doesn't want me, nor does it have any place for me. So I will leave, like so many others, and SA will rot. The great brain drain SA has been going through these past couple years and it's getting worse. And frankly, I don't give a fk, only that when all the intelligent people leave, whatever ethnicity they may be good luck to them, and only idiots are gonna be left, the same idiots who think the shit the EFF spews is somehow gonna fix everything. The idiocy of so many of the people in this country, makes me wanna chew my own God damn wrist off.

Besides, the people today don't give a damn about Mandela, because had they, they would've headed his words, instead they vote for racist radicals who now teach them they they must take, and murder and not tolerate anything that isn't genuinely African. It's also clear that, these victims have very selective memory and only remember spesifc events to justify all their actions, while ignoring all the hypocrisy and double standards, and the people who actually helped them, many of them being the very people they are taught to spite today. These idiots have all been lead astray so much they can't recall anything accurately anymore. I'll have you know that much of this, is kinda obvious to most minorities. But, we get spoken down to and spoken of by a people who don't know us at all, only defining us by historical events, unaware of the fact that people change.

YES. No one was punished for apartheid. There was only forgiveness. Forgiveness is a sign of weakness in European culture but it’s a sign of respect in African culture. In African culture when someone forgives you you feel as if you owe them but in European culture you are looked down upon. I believe either people involved in apartheid should have been punished or expelled from the country. This would be justice. However because of the injustice of no punishment we are disrespected today and our descendants will be disrespected because we didn’t take the decisive action needed to put this to an end.

As is his assertion that whites enjoy a lack of accountability in society. Is that why black violent crime rates in SA are sky high and white violent crime rates are very low? What encourages blacks to be violent is the victim mentality and racial grievance this guy is promoting-- telling black people that they're oppressed and that white people are racist and holding them down, and that they aren't accountable for their own failings.

"Anger is an ever oppressive mindset that will drive you into trenches without a thorough sense of judgement" Madiba choce what was best for the entire country. It was a difficult decision but he managed to use true foresight instead of being possesed and driven by anger. Could the poor hard working individual become even more poorer? No...Would free non-corrupt black leaders be in the position to further improve the lifes of the majority despite white monopoly stl present in the country? Yes. ...Those who think South Africa would of succeeded economically or even democratically without the white backed international private sector are simply letting their emotions and decade's of oppression control their understanding of our current world. It's not difficult to look at examples throughout Africa and Latin America to see the continued suffering populations fall into after failing to understand that the world is not a simple scripted fairytale once taking over power. Even more so as South Africa is difussed with systemic corrupt black leadership. Mandela made the right decision, to further empower his people, though it's up to the citizen's and future leaders to further improve his ideology....This is why Madiba will forever be idolized. It's easy to go into war with an enemy yet it takes true courage and psychological strength to reconcile and forsee a better future despite the chronic traumatic heart aching pain reminding you of the past.

I may not have deep knowledge to be eligible as participant to the motion being debated. Nevertheless, I know one thing. Times are changing. While in the past epoch weapons to repel aggression were violent, modern day aggression can be held back by a combination of moral authority and intellect. Struggles for total emancipation in a world full of currents and eddies without the said modern day weaponry will be endless. I dare say Tata Mandela managed to set a spring board from where the intellectually and morally versed youngsters can sprung from to attain good times. It is on record that liberation of the minds will do away with inequities and other such like vices infecting our societies.

Discussions are good, trying to lay blame somewhere else not good. Introspection, accepting individual responsibility, to focus on the future & to act positively are what is required.

I personally don’t demand reparations. But some sort form of restitution should be applied to those who suffered under the old order. BUT it should have been done in 1994. Currently, It’s very difficult to do in practice because our society has become integrated. Right now there are people of color who’s parents suffered but themselves are living comfortably - it would be irresponsible to compensate such a person. The problem isn’t that it shouldn’t be done, it’s that it would be too difficult to enforce.

I remember awaiting a train and noticed the benches were marked Blanke and Nie Blanke. I could feel the Anger in my father's non response. We were not allowed to disrespect our staff if they were in charge we had to obey.

"“When we see a black man who is constantly being praised by white people, begin to suspect him. When we see a black man gets honors and all sorts of decorations and the United States flatters him with fine words and phrases, immediately suspect that person. Because our experience has taught us that the Americans and Europeans not exalt to any black man that is really working for the benefits of the black man.” (Malcolm X). This utterance made by Malcolm X is relevant to Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Only fools deified the "turncoat" Nelson Mandela (native lieutenant of the dutch afrikaaners and their euro-american collaborators). The real shereos and hereos of the black struggle against the white supremacists (including their euro-american collaborators) are people like Winnie Mandela, Steve Biko, Fidel Castro, Chris Hani, Robert Sobukwe, Zephania Mothopeng, King Cetshwayo, Japtha Masemola (who spent 28 yrs at Robin Island and subsequently murdered by the white supremacists 7 months after his release from Robin Island ) , all of the young people who were slain in mass protests action (Sharpeville, Soweto etc) against the fascists-racist white regime who unlike the "turncoat" Nelson Mandela (including his male successors in the ANC-Cyril Ramaphosa ; fake trade unionist who was the principal instigator of police brutality against the striking miners at marikana (2012), Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma) were not committed to betraying the people in their struggle by putting the corporate interests of the architects of apartheid above the MAIN OBJECTIVE of liberating south afrika from the tentacles of white supremacy. What is the right to vote worth without ECONOMIC POWER ??? What can you do with a dead battery ??? What transformation can occur without the possession of POWER ??? Political independence without ECONOMIC POWER is independence without substance AND this the REAL SITUATION with many of the Berlin Conference states in Afrika. The ANC under the leadership of Nelson Mandela lack the courage to do the right thing but instead opted to do what was what was acceptable for white people . The Nelson Mandela led government was more about appeasing their white oppressors than bringing real justice to the black populace in south afrika. It is therefore not surprising that the ARIELS (including Nelson Mandela) from the ANC incorporated the flag that represented the white racist tyrannical regime in the new flag of south afrika AND are now referring to homeless and landless black people in SA as squatters while they allow the white usurpers in SA to control 70% of the land and have complete control of their mineral resources. While De Klerk the leader of the white usurpers/supremacists in south afrika had the courage to uncompromisingly insist “I do not intend to negotiate myself out of power” the gutless ARIELS from the ANC could only pursue a “forget the past” policy via the fraud “Truth and Reconciliation” committee. to exonerate AND appease the white psychopaths of their crimes against black people. Hence, it is no wonder that they implemented the ridiculous “wiling seller willing buyer” land policy to reclaim back some of the land from these white usurpers (which conflicts with the so-called ANC Freedom Charter as stated below). "The national wealth of our country, the heritage of South Africans, shall be restored to the people; the mineral wealth beneath the soil; the banks and monopoly industries shall be transferred to the ownership of the people as a whole; all other industries and trade shall be controlled to assist the well-being of the people." On the matter of reconciliation is it the Creator who reconciles him/herself with the sinner/transgressor or is it NOT the duty of the sinner/transgressor to reconcile (make things right) with the Creator ? To pursue unity at all cost to appease one's oppressor without some form of compensation (reparatory justice) is an act of wickedness and betrayal to the victims of exploitation/oppression. Freedom cannot be given, it will ALWAYS take a REVOLUTION to make a solution.

MANY of the apartheid laws still exist in de-jure in our country 2. We are a sensationalist, pleasure principle country 3. We aren't decisive and clear, one example is our education system, we teach kids in english from grade 4, where they learn English FAL which is an equivalent of doing physic with Math Lit(inadequate and inferior) in addition to adopted failed curriculum from other countries 4. we are trying to use a top-down approach to nation building which from the average citizen would be fine but from government learned /qualified official should know that a bottom-up approach is known to work(federation vs confederation)

Many years back i said this and will repeat. I am afraid the stance that Mandela took to forgive and forget would not bring closure to Africans. For such to work Mandela govt would have to employ, on one to one basis, millions of psychologists to help Africans who suffered and are now continuing to suffer because of Apartheid. The decicion to forgive and forget was well sounded in ears but not pragmatic in its core. It was not very well thought of. It was meant to bring quick victory ..something which had and will never work anywhere except fast food joints. Even the success of fast food industry is multi generational. I respect and praise Mandela.. but like many do know now he was not the only and most important.. he was and still is the most spoken of, he was and still is the most spot lighted and because of that we have all come to learn of his remarkable world class wisdom. Many more made ernomous sacrifices.. many who didnt have the spot light nor the luxury of longevity for them to speak on podiums. I love Mandela... the elevated African version of Mandela. Because of him we have many tales to tell. But i wonder whether some of those tales werent told for us to cram. Or whether those true and good stories werent trumpeted so that we wouldn't hear alternative narratives or debate the short comings as we do now. I love Mandela but more so Winnie. If Mandela made sacrifices..imagine his wife. Did Mandela have authority to dictate that all is well now, just forgive and forget? Would such a thing work anywhere in the world? Come on. That was the best speech to hear but naive as well as unjust to the core. I love Mandela but there is a huge short coming to his approach and now Africans must revisit.

what a mess ...these equity warriors are more interested in tearing others down rather than building others up . this is so simple to see ! Is this government able ? ...maybe .Cooperative ? probably not !

Mandela's claim to fame was, 27 years in prison. His government did not even establish a low income housing scheme, for the low income earners

Mandela as a pan Africanist is as shocking as it is insulting because he was a White Capital friend.

RIP" Mr President S' Africa Dr. Nelson Mandela, Not To Fail S' Africa Country Build , He Just Give The Big & The Great ( Knowladge ) Comparetion For The Young Generation How To Walk Admins On Political Will As The Government , All Must Have Integreated , Eccountables , Capabelity , & Others As The Leaders To Give Good Lifeliving For All The S' Africa Civilian Cityzen People's ( Humanitarian ) In World Life Competition For S' Africa Country People's Have Good Futures Become. That's Mean To Lead The Country & People's Not Enough Just Only With Power ( Military ) Thanks All, ..... Cheerio.*****.

Watch a documentary called 1994 The Bloody Miracle and look at the times and decisions that needed to be made. Land reform has been going on since 2005 however it's been failing Black people are being dispossesed and reversing the good for not just 1 person but the community they support as well. To think economically about upliftment is an intellectual conversation not an emotional one. We would have all been butchered with the political violence back then but we had real politicians back then not just businessmen in suits that are looking to score a tender those men all black and white cared for the benefit of their people, Us South Africans we take too much for granted and complain too much.

To transfer power and resources is easy, what is difficult is what to do with the power and resources once they in your hands...

This guy wa Mandela Foundation is a sell out according to Ausi Lebohang' narrative of a sellout. He's irrelevant to the question on hand. Leaders should be held liable for their actions...

We didn't hear the final conclusion of one of the panelist and that is Selo

South Africa has to become something else... Amen 🤲🏽🥕

We are being selfish by questioning Mandela, he sacrificed his time with his family and life with along with his family for people he did not know, he was old, he shouldn't have cared less for the rest, retire and forget about politics but he didn't.

The ANC, including the first time they came into power under Nelson Mandela, has been a TOTAL DISGRACE to the South African BLACK Community in those POOREST (Soweto township) that voted them into Government, since 1994. The FACT that those terrible GHETTOS still exist TODAY is SO SAD & Unforgivable. BLACK People in SA Ntabankulu have not benefited under the ANC. Their Lives are as bad as it was during the APARTHEID era.

He compromised too much

Roger Brian Venter If expropriation of land without payment is a thorn in the current conversation, the logic would then be why not compensate the land owners, and then in return, the land owners MUST then pay back what is owed to black people whose land was taken from them without payment?? This would be fair but I guess this option would be debated against also!

@portiaheadman5634

Giving back the land will solve the problem of black society, They want to build their own properties in their own land and to build houses and mostly businesses in order to grow their own resources in order to grow their S.A. economy for the future of this country and stop depending to outside countries for growth.

Why government of national unity when the ANC was the majority?? The ANC was riven. MADIBA negotiated on his own. Made concessions. He exposed those who objected like Chris Hani and they were murdered. How was it that Jacob Zuma was removed from the critical position at the critical juncture and then pursued?

More!!

All the gold and diamonds from the land in SA should going to black citizens of SA.White SA had enough of the stolen golds.

Facts!

Last speaker freestyle wasn’t convincing… I can’t believe that one of the panelists is now late!

I havn't gotten through the Question and answers section yet , but i must say the speakers left me with the idea that , they are disappointed for not getting hard core communism in 1994.....shall i say anything more, 99,99% of hardcore communist countries are economic basket cases,but South Africa is a communist country parading as a democracy it sorrows me but i think we are on the verge of a Zimbabwe/Venezuela state of affairs!

The 3rd speaker is still stuck in the past "Unfortunately". Let's move forward plz 🤲🙏

Change your mind from primitive to intelligent, don't just give land to black people give it to South Africans.

Would this speaker be called coloured or black in South Africa?

My Answer?: Mandela didn't set South Africa up to fail, the people who took over the baton from him did a shitty job at bringing the country together and progressing it to further heights, that's it. South Africa was on the fast track to becoming a global Super Power in the 80's and early 90's, heck the development of Nuclear Weapons was already underway.... But again, A poor succession plan can decimate within a year, what took hundreds of years to build. the truth is, The ANC had no competent leaders, they just didn't have the experience nor proper counsel to take over a High-Performance system like RSA back then and make it better. they didn't know what a High-Performance system even looked like to begin with... RSA had a chance to stand toe to toe with the U.S, and possibly even become more powerful than the U.S, especially if we would've expanded our reach beyond RSA borders... now, lousy countries like Nigeria & Egypt has even surpassed us. we are busy begging outsiders to invest in our own country instead of self-generating the capital we need to empower ourselves! we have the minerals, we have the arable land, we have a large young population, what else do you want??? you have everything you need. is it so difficult to cultivate Farmers? is it so difficult to develop our own Goods & Products and become self-sufficient instead of importing everything? Is it so difficult to build Tourist attractions? Is it so difficult to adopt the best education systems in the world and improve upon them for ourselves? is it so difficult to set aside a healthy budget every year to invest in our Clinics, Hospitals, Nurses, & Doctors, as well as Medical Training Programs? Is it so difficult to properly train the Police and pay them a fair salary for going out there and risking their lives for us on a daily basis? RSA is in trouble I'm telling you... very serious trouble...

The ANC was deluded.

How was the peace that Mandela's government negotiated for South Africa going to benefit the formerly and still oppressed African native when even the Constitution itself is anti-redress? The Constitution simply protects and further promotes the Apartheid status quo. Those who were in control of all of the country's strategic resources came out of 1996 still in control of those resources. Karima raises idealistic rhetoric that is not in line with the reality of South Africa's socio-economic challenges from the formerly oppressed peoples' perspective. As the former PAC/APLA comrades would argue: "How you do negotiate for the true liberation of oppressed peoples from a position of weakness?"

We need to stand together and forget the past and build this country with the Word of God in the one hand and our building up of SA in the other hand. It starts at home, school and churches. Our Christian leaders are standing in front of God's thrown for not praying for the cabinet and not standing up for the wrongness of the cabinet. Building up this country must be without apartheid. When Parlement rejects Jesus Christ as their right hand this country will not survive.

“I Fear I May Have Integrated My People Into a Burning House” - Martin Luther King Jr. These were Dr. King's latter sentiments shortly before he was assasinated. Maybe, the criminal state of apartheid should have been allowed to wholely die and not have been resuscitated to morph into some new form of oppression of the indigenous people of the land. I would say your ''rainbow nation'' very well was also your ''burning house'' in much the same way integration was ours (blacks) in America.
