Seriously, why fukk Mandela. I want to know.
Ayt... so.... I'm going off the op
Apartheid (basically segregatation) ends in South Africa in 1993,
within less than a year. They have a black president, if that don't ring alarm bells idk what will... lets get deeper
Mandela was charged with 93 counts of terrorism, imprisoned for 27years. Comes out to be President of that country, let alone a country fresh out of segregation. Still not fishy?
South Africa were under pressure by the UN for human rights violations, alot of boycotts had been called on South Africa, to not allow them to participate in events with other nations.
Ontop of that in 1989-1990 FW De Klerk who was South African president before Mandela... waged war on Angola (Fidel sent 40,000 troops to help) Miraculously, the same man who was responsible for South Africa's racist political stance became the figure head of race relations.
De Klerk was transformed into some Jesus figure, bridging the gaps between blacks and whites.
Like homie
@pon said, it was all part of a plan to pacify the Black Africans of SA who had become increasingly angry with their oppression. The appointment of Nelson Mandela made South Africa a "friendly nation" and international pressure of the countries race relations died down. All the while the economic gap between blacks and whites remains the same. Smooth move on their part
Quote from his wife
Winnie Mandela said “Mandela came out of jail a Dalai Lama of white people, their savior. Through him, white capital was able to keep its grip on South African economic power while the masses were given a beguiling opium in the form of Mandiba magic”.

Didn't know that. Never read up on him too much. Never interested me. Maybe I will now.
