on a good show but dick clark could barely conceal his frustration. i think the decision of the nobel peace laureate committee was a very courageous decision and the award to more must among dello was a popular one the award to me was a controversial award because people said but i have practiced a partake in the past i had no problem with their system on download receiving it at times it appeared as if he and the a.n.c. did not like very much the fact that it was also wanted to me i know that there were two that felt. nelson should not have shared with him i think that would have been a terrible mistake their contribution through the nobel peace prize was their contribution to say we congratulate you the people of south africa you for it

amongst each other but in the course of that fight you learned to appreciate each other as humanity. and mandela was irritated by this man from the apartheid regime the people who put him in jail the people who oppressed these own people for so long trying to say i ended up after it praise me the credit felt that he did not get enough credit for ending up after and he wanted to be on the international stage he wanted to be. the big the big historical figure but he was mandela he was the biggest icon in the world so. the two perspectives and the two egos really clashed and it was also difficult because there was

a very strong and he apartheid lobby in norway didn't want him to get the e.u. the prize atoll and at one stage she and mandela went out on to a balcony or. of the group the hotel and the main road of ours alone and the norwegians who were supposed to be having a torchlight parade boo de klerk and the chair mandela so it was a bit humiliating for order to. back in south africa the presidential election campaign proved to be extremely tense. encounters who lose threatens not to take part in the vote and violent

confrontations were frequent even in the center of johannesburg. as the world focuses on sort of a few days before the vote the two candidates faced off in a historic televised debate. where have what that plan appeared at that time life or south africa and a better life means housing starts free according to education hospital services we believe. that this is out of me and my eyes in the eye and she's policy is riddled with that which has failed it is riddled still with clinging to nationalize ation you want good investments as long as that is the case they says that applause. often then

or is not used to address the best signal is of the charter to the population or is government is committed to press maugham by noted. he is not alarmed at that or have for devote so much of his last. or is called sounds like. they just in general how do you write him off if you talk about. that. far. and nation beauty how i am proud to hold your. thought as to who are follow. on election day no one doubted that mandela's a.n.c. would imagine is the fix on the question was whether the party would gain two thirds of the vote. the final score

was indisputable sixty two percent for the a.n.c. i'm just twenty percent for the national party. i hold out my hand to mr mandela in friendship and cooperation as far as my own post position is concerned i should like to make it clear. that i believe that my political task is just beginning everything that we have done so far the four years of difficult and often frustrating negotiations the problem and the crises. abin simply a blip in ration of all the work that lies in it. on

may tenth one thousand nine hundred ninety four after four years of negotiations and several thousand people killed in political violence nelson mandela became president of south africa he was seventy five years old. i think all for the future i think it's a good idea for self africa if i live there that meets we have set out to achieve as beach. thought it was a glorious moment. because it was peaceful it was accepted by the war the leaders of the world with their defeat on that day he saw it as the conclusion of these project that started in one thousand eight hundred nine. according to the terms of an agreement signed in one thousand nine hundred three mandela led

a government of national unity assisted by two vice presidents kabul and becky one of his right hand men and frederick declared. so you have my it big enough of your father's and i live in. madison ordered south america. growing up by side. if a for the better public are full of it. so. i knew it was a sunday apartheid was overcome the last white president attending the swearing in of south africa's first black president. my overwhelming sense was a feeling of accomplishment yes i had questions and i still have it in my mind.

whether we will be able to stay on the right path there are threats and there are always dangers that even if you reach a good agreement that in the implementation of the agreement things can go wrong but my general sense was one of this is a good day for south. over parties with more than twenty deputies were represented in the government of national unity intended to last five years a coalition unique in the world took office a cabinet when a former president officiated under the orders of his successor both at the head of opposing parties. facing them and allan never chaired the cabinet in

their key the other deputy president and i chaired the cabinet on meditational basis. it was a good experience i realized and in serialize that they needed to gain experience in governance they've been a liberation movement they've been agitating they've been fighting they've been fighters in the field they didn't know how to deal with the civil service he possibly thought that his presence in the government of national unity. will give him the authority to teach then you'll come us. to do things. whereas he ought to have run this through that he was also a new comer into a situation that was new on twitter but there were moments when.

i could see mr mandela getting frustrated it. all took patience between mandela and dick clark hit the headlines. in january nine hundred ninety five i heated disputes during a cabinet meeting which forced dick clarke and mandela to stage a public reconciliation for the media. the main focus of our discussion was our past not working relationship our discussion was frank. add to it derelict in some detail. with our of the issues which caused the recent confrontation between us. we did not ask for an apology. we are asked for the recognition of al good faith. honesty and our integrity in the process of the confrontation also my confidence

in the president was shaken and our talk this morning achieved also. the race to relation of that confidence. i'm shaking you know you love movement on the t.v. . often about eighteen months the a.n.c. started to feel they've had enough of a learning experience. and then they started to try and silence me because i was not only an executive deputy president i was also the political leader of the main political opposition part and they were trying to say i cannot in public criticize the citizens with which i disagreed in the cabinet because i'm an executive to fifty president that was part

of the problem which six months later after two years but old me to the decision with my party who was there all from the government of national unity i think that the clear and his group where feeling that they were losing too much support from the white constituency and that if they remained in government with the a n c they would continue to lose support again i think the clerics ego came in the way that and he's personal circumstances and we sometimes talk about politicians and forget that they are ordinary human beings the clerk at the fall in love married a new young woman a beautiful woman that he was very much in love with he lost his appetite for dirty politics for hard politics. and instead of leaving his party inside and

going to die with lovely elites he took them all out declared can despite a lefty government in june one thousand and eighty six shortly after the adoption of the country's new constitution mandela himself left politics in one thousand nine hundred nine handing over to top of baccy. in just six years of a hard fought to deal the two men had to learn to clean change the course of their country's history and forever bound their own destinies they continued to see each other far from the political turmoil like in two thousand and six at a hotel in cape town at frederick declared seventieth birthday. i mean. once they had retired they knew that they the two of them played a special role. in history. and they never became friends but on

the one or two occasions public occasions they said nice things about it all we did . at night if i just a. moment of doubt all. all all. right at l o o. o o o o just what. i heard a person in the us will say that our country does not suffer a normal. across all. i've ever gotten or get right. planted with us where the. president mandela made a wonderful short speech. at the function for friends and family. i was

deep in touch. by the nickel mission he gave to my contribution to. help to bring peace to south africa i was deeply touched by the personal war. which he extended to me. even god a little bit if i can remember well. al-jazeera explores prominent figures of the twentieth century and how rivalries influenced the course of history steve jobs so much better marketeers than bill gates was apple was going to reinvent stuff all the old made software what it is today will change the world to high tech visionaries whose breakthroughs inspired a digital revolution jobs and gates face to face on al-jazeera.
