On December 5, one of the most notorious terrorists of our time, Nelson Mandela, was finally proclaimed dead at the age of 95.
In his long career, Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC), the Marxist terror organization he founded in 1961 with Joe Slovo, born Yossel Mashel Slovo, his Jewish communist handler, have been responsible for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of murders in South Africa.
Declared a terrorist organization by President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, the ANC was on a terror watch list and Mandela was forbidden entrance to the United States without a special waiver for over 20 years until President George W. Bush signed a bill removing the ANC from the list in 2008.
In 1962 Mandela was arrested and convicted of sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the South African government on behalf of the Soviet Union and was sentenced to life in prison, barely escaping a death sentence. At his trial, he pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence that included mobilizing terrorist bombing campaigns, which placed bombs in public places. The attacks included bombing the Johannesburg railway station where many innocent people were killed, including women and children.
While in prison, the ANC brutally murdered about 20,000 people in a campaign of terror to force them to join the ANC. Mandela’s wife, Winnie—whom he later divorced—was also a longtime ANC activist. She favored a method called “necklacing,” where a gasoline-filled tire is placed around the neck of a victim and set ablaze.
“With our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country,” she is infamous for saying.
An estimated 3,000 victims died by necklacing. It is widely believed that Mandela ordered these murders from prison.
A bevy of bombings and land mine incidents killed hundreds and injured thousands of innocent civilians in public places while Mandela was in prison. Targets included the Koeberg nuclear power plant, the Ellis Park Rugby Stadium, three courthouses, bars and arcades.
In 1985, Mandela was offered a release from prison by then-President P.W. Botha on the condition that he denounce violence and help end the bloodshed. Mandela refused.
By 1990, the communists behind Mandela had gained enough power to force his release. In 1993 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and following the collapse of apartheid in South Africa was elected president in 1994. Mandela’s Jewish communist collaborator, Slovo, became his secretary of housing. The two of them can be seen on a video clip of that era chanting their pledge to “kill all the whites.”
Since that time, an estimated 70,000 whites have been brutally murdered in South Africa by ANC blacks, a policy that continues today and is publicly endorsed by Jacob Zuma, South Africa’s current president.
Since Mandela took over in 1994, South Africa has gone from being the safest and most prosperous country in Africa to being the rape and murder capital of the world. In Johannesburg, 5,000 people are murdered every year. Unemployment went from 5% in 1994 to 50% today.
South Africa also has the largest number of people infected with HIV/AIDS in the world. In 2007, over 18% of adults—5.7 million people—had AIDS. In 2010, an estimated 280,000 died of AIDS.
President Barack Obama, also a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who visited South Africa during his $100M African vacation last summer, delivered a eulogy for Mandela at the White House. He mourned the loss of Mandela with whom he shares the distinction of being his nation’s very first black president.
“We have lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this Earth,” said Obama. “I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s life. . . . I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set, and so long as I live I will do what I can to learn from him.”
