-end of line- Thoughts about the slow passing of Nelson Mandela

There is something of a ghost for our unelected leader -David Cameron- here to ponder. For, it has to be said, that any words he chooses to use on the passing of Nelson mandala from this world, will echo more like dry empty rhetoric: or rain in small trite puddles than resound strong with the spirit of truth, which we the citizens of the UK would prefer to hear.
For though he might have chosen to point out that the Tory's were wrong to consider the A.N.C a terrorist organisation, his hands will still have the blood of the South African nation despotic apartheid government upon them.
South Africa, for the white man in general, is not a home: it's a colony, disguised as a home, and during the "Botha" years this fact was hidden behind a veneer of credibility that contained at its heart, a viscous dominating lust for power and abject cruelty upon the nations real citizens, whose tie to the land was far greater and far stronger than the white quest for imperialism.
Furthermore its choice of apartheid as a solution to hide this fact, brought nothing but condemnation from the people of the world. This, in turn, led to people's concert's and a cry from many individuals to consider the plight of one of South Africa's citizens: Nelson Mandela, whom stood against that despotic regime of colonization, and paid the price with the removal of over twenty years of his life in a forced political exile.
It also has to be said that since the undoing of apartheid, there has been shown the sheer fluidity of the body politic that itself underpins the notion, that nations are shaped and are molded by their leader's, whom are elected into office by their people. Not the other way around. Perhaps this too is something that our unelected leader has tended to forget, as he consider's the plight of the United Kingdom's most poor and vulnerable.
Today apartheid is sentenced to history, and many like myself, look back an think upon those concerts we attended and the rally's we supported with a greater sense of pride than we dared hope. Did we have a part to play in ending apartheid? Did the song "Free Nelson Mandela" really have an impact upon DeKlerk's decision to bring to an end a brutal regime, that had to face the fact that many men and women were taken off into the night in cars beaten and then left for dead.
I like to think so. Public pressure had a lot to do with the end of apartheid, as did recognition of its martyrs, like Steve Biko and leaders, like Nelson Mandela.
But the nation itself had a lot to do with the changes that took place, and this was not helped by men like our leader David Cameron who went to South Africa and supported the regime, with posters that criminalized Mandela and at the same time sought support from other nations to bring to an end the sanctions imposed upon that despotic regime.
Now have Cameron as a leader, no, that's not accurate perhaps more of a "Botha" or a "de Klerk" than a Mandela: Perhaps a world leader pretend; a vain open mouthed opinionated hypocrite that chose his chums over the needs of the suffering.
And while he goes jogging his way through this malaise which will be his undoing, as the more he opens his mouth on this issue the more questions will be asked. I hope that the state run media will balance out the truth from the lies. I hope it will; if it does not then, well, the face of the nation will be shown indeed.
Finally, a real leader like Nelson Mandela can teach us a lot about humanity; his struggle is a reflection of humanity's struggle against oppression and tyranny in whatever form it takes. His values, should be our values, where the rights of the the oppressed have as much right to be heard as the right of the white man, the stock broker or the banker, or the free market engineer, otherwise known as the entrepreneur; and his story should always be told, in doorways, in small groups, in the vaults of decaying churches and in the closing libraries, pubs and small clubs everywhere: for there is much to learn from it.
