“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.”
It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb, S- X/ q/ i+ l' q9 |6 `: z% s& n
I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed.

Now is the time for all South Africans to stand together against those who, from any quarter, wish to destroy what Chris Hani gave his life for - the freedom of all of us.曼德拉的誠摯懇求,使騷亂得以平息,足見曼德拉在南非人民心中的聲望。最終,Hani被殺一事沒有成功挑起戰爭,反促使談判進程加快;武裝份子再加重攻擊,亦再也阻擋不了南非走向平等民主之勢。1993年,曼德拉與克拉克一同獲頒諾貝爾和平獎。1994年,在南非首次白人與黑人均可參與的投票中,曼德拉獲選成為南非第一個黑人總統。5.39.217.76+ H.

This is a watershed moment for all of us. We must not let the men who worship war, and who lust after blood, precipitate actions that will plunge our country into another Angola. Chris Hani has made the supreme sacrifice. The greatest tribute we can pay to his life's work is to ensure we win that freedom for all our people.1 N4 m+ _4 G! A

We should constantly keep our minds on the broad picture that has emerged. The wounds of the period of repression and resistance are too deep to have been healed by the TRC alone, however well it has encouraged us along that path.公仔箱論壇/ z' n) s4 Z3 D. B6 u
It is for those who have suffered losses of different kinds and magnitudes to be afforded reparation, proceeding from the premise that freedom and dignity are the real prize that our sacrifices were meant to attain. Free at last, we are all masters of our destiny.

只有通過紀律的群眾運動,才可有勝利的保證。我們呼籲白人同胞加入我們的行列,共同創造新的南非。自由運動也是你們的政治歸宿。我們呼籲國際社會繼續採取行動,孤立這個實行種族隔離制度的政府。國際社會如果現時取消制裁,會使整個消滅種族隔離制度的進程,有夭折的危險。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb) ?5 M( p" |, u; [" h& P

最後,我想引述我在 1964年受審時說過的話。這些話到現在依然適用:我為反對白人統治而抗爭,也為反對黑人統治而抗爭。我珍惜民主與自由社會的理想,每個人都可以和睦共處,每個人都可以獲得平等的生活。我為這理想而生,並希望使之實現。如果有需要,我也準備好為這理想而死。

It is only through disciplined mass action that our victory can be assured. We call on our white compatriots to join us in the shaping of a new South Africa. The freedom movement is a political home for you too. We call on the international community to continue the campaign to isolate the apartheid regime. To lift sanctions now would be to run the risk of aborting the process towards the complete eradication of apartheid.

Our march to freedom is irreversible. We must not allow fear to stand in our way. Universal suffrage on a common voters' roll in a united democratic and non-racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony.5.39.217.760 M) p$ e0 h* _$ v1 X& i' b

In conclusion I wish to quote my own words during my trial in 1964. They are as true today as they were then. I wrote:TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。8 F: [. e Y P
'I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.'
Nelson Mandela was a giant for justice and a down-to-earth human inspiration. Many around the world were greatly influenced by his selfless struggle for human dignity, equality and freedom. He touched our lives in deeply personal ways. At the same time, no-one did more in our time to advance the values and aspirations of the United Nations. Nelson Mandela showed what is possible for our world and within each one of us - if we believe, dream and work together for justice and humanity.美國總統奧巴馬公仔箱論壇9 S0 L$ W- {! x4 |9 d% @
We've lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with. He no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the ages...

The world is a better place for Nelson Mandela. He showed in his own character, and inspired in others, many of God's attributes: goodness, compassion, a desire for justice, peace, forgiveness and reconciliation. He was not only an amazing gift to humankind, he made South Africans and Africans feel good about being who we are. He made us walk tall. God be praised.英國首相卡梅倫

Nelson Mandela made history. That of South Africa and the whole world. Nelson Mandela's message will not disappear. It will continue to inspire fighters for freedom, and to give confidence to peoples in the defence of just causes and universal rights.南非前總統克拉克(與曼德拉共同獲頒1993年諾貝爾和平獎)
South Africa has lost one of its founding fathers and one of its greatest sons. Nelson Mandela's courage, charm and commitment to reconciliation and to the Constitution were an inspiration not only for South Africans but for the whole world.3 |( F1 k' X% |
I believe that his example will live on and that it will continue to inspire all South Africans to achieve his vision of non-racialism, justice, human dignity and equality for all.

「要解放受壓逼者,也要解放壓逼者……奪去他人自由的人,自己也是仇恨的囚徒,困鎖於偏狹的欄柵背後……當我步出監獄,這是我的使命:去解放被壓逼者與壓逼者……自由,不只是掙脫枷鎖,更要尊重與促進其他人的自由。我們熱愛自由,真正考驗才剛開始。」自傳的最後一段,每次重讀,頓覺心仍未冷,熱淚在滾動:2 g& O# M( N% E+ f: Z3 R# g
「我走過了通往自由的長路。我嘗試不去猶豫;我曾踏錯腳步。但我發現了一個秘密:翻過了一座大山,只發現前路有更多的山。我稍作休息,偷看一眼當前的壯麗風景,回望來時路。但我只能歇息一會,享有自由,就要負起責任,我不敢久留,漫漫長路,還未到終點。」# j5 j" J7 K. l0 K& }" W借花敬佛,送給那些壯志未竟,仍在艱辛奮鬥的人。

(I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.)
