Mandela's personality, imagery and identity
Raymond Suttner unpacks his Mandela Leadership Series (Camera & editing: Nicholas Boyd)
When it became clear that there was a stalemate, Mandela opted for negotiations. He did this in the midst of violent conflict, between the apartheid regime and the forces for liberation, in his case the ANC and its military wing Umkhonto we Sizwe, and on the other side the apartheid forces, primarily the SADF. That conflict and the ranging of forces on both sides was part of the violent history of conquest and resistance in South Africa.
It has been repeatedly stressed that it is undesirable to simply use effusive language to describe Nelson Mandela but rather we should understand his qualities and learn from them. This final article of the series on Mandela’s leadership draws broad lessons from Mandela, which may have application to how we deal with difficult issues in our own lives
