for three years we were together in one cell, and then mr mandela was separated from us.t away from us. that is when he started talking to the other side. when you did eventually get out, he persuaded you to go into government. he offered you a seat, you turned down a cabinet seat. he offered you an anc position as adviser and you didn't like it. i wonder why? you had struggled your whole life to change africa and now you had an opportunity to do so. what did you dislike about it? not all of us were aiming to go into parliament. i was working in his office of course, for the five years. i was elected a member of parliament. for some reason, ijust did not like that kind of life. what you did was to set up a foundation. much later. one of its aims was to campaign for the freedom charter. that was a document from 1955. it talked about freedom, all people having rights. people sharing the country's wealth. the land being shared among those who worked it. a very radical redistribution of wealth within south africa. south africa is a long way from achieving that. do you think i

mandela while he was in prison. to be aware of him by my mentor and the man i most admired and still do, paul rosen. paul rosen is very close to king matuli who was a leader against the apartheid system in the early days of its presence. in south africa. and he was the first black man to ever receive the nobel prize. looking at south africa from that prison i became to become more aware of what the african national, anc was doing, and what its leadership was aspiring to, to make decisions that would help us support the struggle that the people of south africa were experiencing and resisting apartheid. >> it is one thing to work along side dr. king as you did so courageously, but with regard to mandela, for 27 years, certainly he was behind bars. what do you recall more principally about working along side one of the leaders of this movement to end apartheid when he himself for most of that time was behind bars? >> it was a very touching and a very exciting and rewarding experience. often i went to vice mant by the n

he was one of nelson mandela's closest friends.an rights activist in his own right. like mandela, he spent 27 years in prison for fighting white minority rule. following the famous trial of 1963. he was the fourth of six children born in the north—west province, previously known as western transvaal. at the age of 12, he became a member of the young communist league of south africa, and subsequently joined the transvaal indian congress. ahmed kathrada completed degrees in history, criminology and african politics through the university of south africa while on robin island and other presents. apartheid prison authorities refused to allow him and his comrades to pursue postgraduate studies. our general approach was that we are not going to do anything that we are not going to do anything that impinges on our dignity. in latter yea rs that impinges on our dignity. in latter years he had been showing high—profile visitors around his old prison. here, he was sharing his history as a prisoner with former us president barack obama. but,

to do which was to protect american patents, not anymore because he got up ii stayed with nelson mandela and said we are going to change this and they did.

i am not the man between nelson mandela and the pope and i'm not the most despised man in america. but you can't have that turn praund fast and not ask yourself, wait a minute, wait a minute. who am i? a lot of people are saying this about me. is that who i am? what is causing them to say that? that takes a toll. it is one of the things concerns me about our president. he doesn't seem to have moments of reflection. in fact, he said at one point in an interview that he didn't like to reflect. he didn't like time to think because he regrets too much. that maybe is something that he should do more often. it is something that all of us should do more often. >> what have you learned about the notion of introspection? >> oh, that silence strool golden. that anything said in haste is usually a mistake. that when you take time to really listen and assume the best of someone, not assume the worst of someone, your entire count nance and your entire view of the situation may just change. >> i agree with you and i try to live my life as such. no matter who i'm dealing with, i try to find and t

think of hungary, poland, the philippines, post-mandela south africa.see there's less freedom of the press. the judiciary is more corrupt. elections don't stop -- it's not like putin's russia. they don't murder people. they don't even usually wrongfully arrest people. they use a lot of deceit and corruption and make political checks and balances less meaningful. that's the future i fear for the united states under donald trump. >> i guess the question tonight is whether or not in the era of trump we are going to become -- he will force us to become, coerce us to become better citizens. yes, no? >> that's such an important question. i'm not going to make a prediction. i'm going to offer encouragement. one of the things that -- i keep saying in the article, people may remember the story of ebenezer scrooge, "the christmas carol." when he sees the ghost of christmas future, he asks, are you the vision of things that will be or of things that could be? the ghost never answers. this is just a future. you can choose your own. you look at a lot of the groups t
