For anyone to say Nelson Mandela is a sell out simply because he had his charity do in London is purely racist and shallow minded. There is no need for any one to waste their energy talking about how much Nelson Mandela scrificed his own freedom and life for fellow blacks the world over. Nelson Mandela is an icon of freedom, a true African statesman.
Unlike some African leaders who blow their trumpet about fighting for African freedom Mandela leaves that to the people. Mandela's wisdom, tolerance and sacrifice is the light that will shine beyond race, colour, religion or creed.These are the facts.
People of Zimbabwe should rise above these primitive racial ideas and move with the times and join the rest of the world lest they get left behind. If our leaders in Zanu PF are so anti white/west then why are they sending their children to Universities in the West instead of the local ones. Please Zimbabweans you need to work up because these leaders don't do as they preach.

I will not want to be defending Naomi Campbell because from what is written about her, she does truly nasty things but benching her and have Amy Winehouse perform at your show is double standards to the extreme. One has anger issues and is violent while the other a sad druggie who shouldn`t be given the platform to show kids its ok to do drugs becoz they get you publicity is shameful. Taking a hardline on Naomi should also have been backed up by similar action on Amy. This much like our beloved MDC who boycott a presidential run off coz its too violent and grossly unfair while fielding candidates in parliamentary elections that run on the same day...A classic case of contradicting oneself.
The sad thing about a black hero in Europeans eyes is that he has to be someone who forgave them for the wrongs they have done to blacks as Mugabe did after independence and Mandela much later. While the Europeans are very unforgiving and would gladly paint a Blackman who doesn't tow their line a bitter sad dictator.
Will they take kindly to an African telling the UK to install Cameron as the Prime Minister because Gordon Brown has caused widespread sufffering by being an architect of the UK economy that was seeming doing well for a decade when in reality it was only a debt bubble which has brought about the credit crunch. The credit crunch has also cost lives through stress and so on.
Its sad Mandela gives a seal of aproval to these actions by his mere presence and a few lines that can condemn a nation to sanctions costing yet more lives.
Mandela was heroic for being steadfast and holding on to his beliefs for 27 years, I feel sad having to write thing that sully the standing of a great man but he simply has to stop being used as celebrity endorsement to putting the yoke of slavery back on our necks. Our minds were enslaved hence we need him to be using an African approach than fronting European views.

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:02:24 • Mandela's a sell out. Why hold birthday party in London instead of Jo'burg? Surrounded by whites instead of blacks. He achieved nothing to benefit black Africa. Keeps appeasing the whites. He critisizes Zimbabwe's leadership only after being given a piece of cake..selling out for a piece of cake..it's a shame.

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:44:49 • Mandela sold out FULL STOP. There is no point being missed fungai.

What did Mandela say when poor black people were being fed to lions by whites? NOTHING.

What did Mandela say when poor black people were being killed recently in SA? NOTHING

What did Mandela said about more sanctions being considered by US to Zimbabwe? NOTHING

Then he has the guts to open his mouth and say there is a leadership failer in Zimba. Naomi have been sentenced already by the law of land, why did mandela feel that it was not enough and pass his second judgement to naomi.

Go hang Mandela, africa is better without you.

Mandela didnt feel that Naomi's behaviour was in line with his principles and what he stands for, hence its his decision, and his alone.

You can have oyur party, and if you dont want someone coming to that party, you are free to accept or decline guests.

What did he actually achieve for the black South Africans during his tenure of office?Absolutely nothing.Tutu, Sentamu and Mandela are in the same league of self-hating Africans.

It's just an allegation, right?

So Mandela would not allow a Black woman into his party? But Mandela would cause the African ancestors to turn in their graves by allowing the white man's deviance to become South African government policy, and tarnish the image of Africans leadership for all times?

No doubt Mandela's boyfriend put him up to slight Naomi. lol
Want to bet that Mandela is entertaining whites with far more faults than Naomi?
