I was touched by the article in The Guardian on Mandela's South African trial comrades.
This is a story of courage and bravery, of suffering endured for a democratic multiracial society by the men who fought for it. At the end of their lives, they held no offices and their lives were no more affluent than when they began. India had its share of such people too. Lal Bahadur Shastri a previous Prime Minister and the various communist leaders who were frequently jailed and whose lives ended in the same slums where they were born. They could have easily betrayed their cause and the people who followed them and become wealthy but they were made of the tough material of Mandela, Mbiki, Goldberg and Kathrada. They are a lost race. God bless them. http://gu.com/p/4g44f?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Roland Francis Toronto -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
