The following text (mostly already published on the HNP website) is taken from the book “Die Mandela Legende – The Mandela Legend” by Dr PW Möller. Is a biography of Nelson Mandela, historical communist terrorist of the African National Congress (ANC), and first black president of the “new” Empire of the Republic of South Africa (RSA).

Introduction
Webster defines a legend as “a story generally of a marvellous character, told respecting a saint”. It has an historical background, but is often padded and tainted by fantasy. In Mandela’s case, when the facts are viewed realistically and objectively, any sensible person will no longer see a saint, but a fantasy blown up to something supernatural. It will become clear that a false image of the so-called beloved Madiba is being presented to the world. He is by no means the peace-loving, gentle daddy he is made out to be, but nothing less than a tyrant. He did not spend 27 years in jail for no reason, as continuously maintained. One example of these untruthful presentations appeared in the London Independent, May 1993: “Nelson Mandela is a noble man ... imprisoned for 27 years for his dedication to the cause of Black majority in South Africa”. How much of such misrepresentation could be ascribed to naive parrot-talk and how much to deliberate capitalist andcommunist propaganda cannot easily be determined. [It is also wrong to speak of “black majority”, that is a very racist anti-national concept, because each volk (white or black) is independent of the other. As it is imperialist to support the idea of a “South Africa” unitary state, meaning the vast Empire established by international capitalism after have conquered the Boer Republics.] The truth is that he was not imprisoned on Robben Island without reason – not even because he was merely an opponent of apartheid. He was there because he planned to overthrow a government and in the process, cause the violent deaths of thousands of innocent people (including blacks) – a crime which deserved the death penalty, and he must consider himself fortunate that the so-called apartheid-regime did not press for it. In his auto-biography Long Walk to Freedom, het admits inter alia that he gave the order to plant the Church Street bomb […] during the 80's, which killed 11 innocent people and injured many more.
In spite of this he was built up to an icon and held up as “a man of reconciliation”, as “essentially moderate, a man of special discernment, a courageous freedom fighter”. His international praise singers went as far as comparing him to Moses and George Washington. Topping them all was the American negro, Jesse Jackson, who blasphemously lifted him to the level of Jesus Christ […]. It's important to remember that the post-1966 SA imperial government hardly ever tried to unmask the real Mandela or his share in the Rivonia conspiracy or his close bonds with the SACP (South African Communist Party), or to enlighten the public as to the aims of this alliance.

Left to right: Winnie Mandela, Nelson Mandela and Yossel Slovo.
This enormous communist flag was displayed at ANC mass rallies. Communist leaders such as the Jew Joe Slovo were not only present as dignitaries, but later occupied key posts within the ANC imperial government.
Pre-History of Mandela
The education system of the Empire of Southern Africa had instructed him, until he become a lawyer.
In 1944 he became a founder member, probably with Sisulu and Oliver Tambo, of the ANC Youth League, which soon developed into militant organisation designed to canvas potential communists and apply pressure on the ANC to opt for more violence. Five years later these three were in total control of the Youth League and thus effectively also of the ANC. Mandela was elected in 1949 to the National Executive Committee of the ANC and became president of the Youth League the following year. In 1952 he was nominated as voluntary head of the “Defiance Campaign”, formed to incite opponents of the “apartheid policy” of the RSA Empireto civil disobedience. These undermining activities regularly landed him into trouble and he received several suspended sentences which restricted his freedom of movement. Later, in 1952, he was elected Provincial President of the ANC in Transvaal and Deputy President of the ANC. Meanwhile, his patron, Sisulu, had become the first full time Secretary-General of the ANC. After the events at Sharpeville on 21st of March 1960, the organisation was banned and went underground. […] Since then Mandela emerged as the leading proponent of the violence option to overthrow the SA Empire government, a fact confirmed by Bruno Mtolo, a Zulu who was canvassed by the SACP and then joined Umkhonto we Sizwe to be actively involved in acts of sabotage in Natal, in his book Umkonto we Sizwe THE ROAD TO THE LEFT […].
[…]
The current image of a “man of peace” does not fit the man who in 1961, with Joe Slovo, founded Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the military wing of the ANC, as the main instrument to launch a communist revolution in […] southern Africa.
In the same year Mandela became chief commander and, according to Joe Slovo in his book South Africa – No Middle Road, shortly afterwards left for Africa and Europe to muster support for an armed struggle and training facilities for ANC cadres. He also personally underwent military training in Algeria in 1962. Towards the end of that year, thanks to Mandela’s efforts, there were already hundreds of ANC youths in revolutionary training in Cuba, Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, North Korea, Russia, China, East Germany and Czecho-Slovakia. These youths were grossly deceived by their canvasser, and most of them were not aware that they were being sent on military training, says Bruno Mtolo. The recruits were not motivated politically, but by their adventurous spirit. The prospect of seeing the world and studying overseas was the carrot held before them. Most parents were also held in the dark and many of them would never see their children again (B Motolo, pp. 8, 9, 52 e 88).
In the same year Mandela was arrested for undermining activities and jailed for five years. In the Rivonia trial (1963-1964) he was found guilty and jailed for life.
Mandela was married three times and divorced twice. His first marriage was to Evelyn Mase (according to the Biography) or Ntoko (according to Aida Parker) from which four children were born. From his second marriage with Winnie Madikizela in June 1958 two daughters were born. On his 80th birthday in 1998 he married Graca Machel, widow of Samora Machel of Mocambique.
Exalted to Symbol of the ANC Struggle
Reportedly it was decided in 1976 to “personalise” the so-called struggle, which resulted in Mandela being glorified to a symbol of the struggle as well as a martyr. Why him, is difficult to determine, as both Walter Sisulu and Govan Mbeki, who were also serving sentences on Robben Island, were his seniors in all respects.
Bruno Mtolo deems that his strong personality made him stand out above all the other leaders, but also that the SACP was instrumental in transferring the cloak of leadership from Albert Luthuli to Mandela (B Mtolo, pp. 39-40). Clearly Mtolo had no great respect for the other leaders, because they lived in affluence and were chauffeured around in luxury cars while the foot-soldiers suffered the greatest misery. He even accuses them of dishonesty and duping of their followers (B Mtolo, pp. 11, 57, 58, 65, 74, 87, 130 and 153).
It would appear as if Winnie Mandela’s image, which was also being polished at the time, had something to do with it. With appellations like “Mother of the Nation” (Mama Wetu) – which nation? -, “Warrior Queen”, “Black Evita” and “The Madonna of the Left” the local and international capitalist-communist media boosted her reputation to almost that of a goddess. In contrast, Albertina Sisulu, Walter’s wife and a cousin of Mandela, was reportedly rather humdrum. Author is not aware that Mbeki’s wife ever featured in the public eye.
It is equally not clear where this idea of image building originated. Dr Igor Glagolev, who was for years instrumental in obtaining Soviet support for southern Africa terrorist movements but later deviated to the West, states that the Russian (USSR) Politburo had decided towards the end of 1950 to start a campaign to take over South Africa. That in itself was not new, because the International Communist Congress of 1928 had already instructed the Communist Party of South Africa (SACP) to give special attention to the ANC and to convert the organisation to a […] revolutionary movement in order to overthrow the White administration in order to establish a Soviet-backed communist regime. Yusuf Dadoo, then chairman of the SACP, would play an important role in these plans, as he had been in control of not only the SACP but also of the ANC, since 1950. The USSR was of course also behind the civil wars in Angola and Mocambique as well as terrorism in the rest of Southern Africa.
[…] It was instead the Western countries like England, America and the Scandinavian countries that financed the terrorist movements in Southern Africa in later years. They also actively participated with the international Communist network in building the Mandela image, referring to him as the man who would save South Africa (Empire) – the black Messiah […] to come. This active support of the ANC by the Western powers was thus also the reason why, worldwide, there was hardly any criticism against the ANC’s campaign of violence. How deeply the West was involved is borne out by the fact that the ANC headquarters were not in a Communist country, but in London […].
