"South Africans, black and white, were very fine people these days, thanks to the release of Rohihlahla Mandela from Robben Island in 1990 and his push for the 1994 democratic elections" (100).
"Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another…"
-Nelson Mandela, Inaugural Address, Pretoria 9 May 1994.
Nelson Mandela's idealist promise, a beautiful one in theory, has never been realized in practice.
