        @BBCAfrica is just fabricating facts to smear a renowned revolutionary leader. How many South Africans are saying that he sold out and when did BBC do a survey on that?

        He is a sell out. South Africans deserve better. Wenever our oppressors sing praises of one of ours we must look deeper, Nelson Mandela sold black #SouthAfricans.

        Those who feel that way are the lazy ones, who have a sense of entitlement. Mandela did his part. A plethora of opportunities opened up because of him. Politicians cant do the work for you while you fold your arms & complain. Your life is your responsibility.

        He compromise & never seek justice for the people by persecuting the war criminals who committed mass genocide upon the South African masses. He also did not repatriate the stolen land to it's original owners.

        Sold out? Only if you can point out to a legislative piece within the constitution which prohibits young people from doing what they want to do...until then, the factually inaccurate argument about selling out should not suffice
