Where you live don’t define you, is what you do with your life that define who you are. There was apartheid, with widespread of racial segragation, oppression of black people in their own country, many were afraid who is going to be mouthpiece of the people, and who is going to liberate us or are we going to accept our fate and live for the cause which we have found ourselves.

He was disturbed by the problem facing the country, the courage and determination to liberate his people which he shown was an evidence of true leader which is unseldom currently. Noble men like Walter Sisulu, Nelson Mandela and others who took the cause as theirs in detriment of their beloved ones, was truely a sign of sacrifice shown to get people out of shackles of apartheid.

He spent twenty seven years in prison, Roben Island with all it’s memory shaped Madiba. So many negotiation to derial his mind out from the struggle was prove abortive, at that cause he was dogmatic.
