Update and iconic foto for Gideon.

Jou geliefde redder (your beloved savior) Mandela was a murdering ANC terrorist, convicted bomb maker, and communist. His massive clenched fist statues in Pretoria and Bloemfountein should be pulled down.

THE ANC'S VICTIMS WERE MOSTLY CIVILIANS:
1981 – 2 car bombs at Durban showrooms
1983 – Church Street Bomb (killed 19, wounded 217)
1984 – Durban car bomb (killed 5, wounded 27)
1985-1987 – At least 150 landmines on farm roads (killed 125)
1985 – Amanzimtoti Sanlam shopping centre bomb Dec 23 (killed 2 white women and 3 white children)
1986 – Magoo’s Bar bomb (killed 3, wounded 69)
1986 – Newcastle Court bomb (wounded 24)
1987 – Johannesburg Court bomb (killed 3, wounded 10)
1987 – Wits command centre car bomb (killed 1, wounded 68)
1988 – Johannesburg video arcade (killed 1 unborn baby, wounded 10)
1988 – Roodepoort bank bomb (killed 4, wounded 18)
1988 – Pretoria Police housing unit, 2 bombs (wounded 3)
1988 – Magistrate’s Court bomb (killed 3)
1988 – Benoni Wimpy Bar bomb (killed 1, wounded 56)
1988 – Witbank shopping centre bomb (killed 2, wounded 42)

#2 Mandela should have been abducted and fed to hungry sharks after priming them with buckets of chum. Unfortunately, he was merely arrested, imprisoned and added to the list of secular saints of whom no ill shall be spoken or heard.

#3 Third world nations are third world because of corruption and tribalism. Until the world acknowledges that (instead of blaming colonialism) they will never improve.

#6 Nelson Mandela?
A peaceable fella
To whom we should all lift a cup...
Full of blood of the folks he blew up!
