namibia is the chair of south african's conference, brazil is south africa's knew orientation. sav yeah liking to the south for partnership rather than the north. south afri south africa being a member of the alliance of southern countries. the exclusion is the fact there's no head of states from the u.k. or, indeed a representative from the commonwealth speaking at the funeral. this is surprising given south africa's links with the u.k. and given it is a member of the commonwealth. it would appear to be a pointed diplomatic snub. i'm told by spokesmen from the president's office that they can't comment. this list of speakers displays south africa's diplomatic associations of the present and the future. it's looking to the south rather to the north, to the east rather than to the west. it's a shuffling of a country that once looked to the u.k., to the west and europe for support and development. it's looking the other direction. we know too, that nelson mandela would have had a say in which heads of states would speak at his funeral. clearly from beyond the grave he is continui

you leave namibia? deal. they didn't think it was possible. however, as the cold war was subsiding and some brilliant diplomacy by my assistant secretary chester crocker, we made a deal and the cubans left. and so we went to the south africans and said okay, your part of the deal, leave. and they did. so in the country next to south africa a par tie ended, a marker. then we thought over very carefully who we should send as our ambassador and i identified a very able person, a deeply experienced foreign service officer. he was the kind of person who had a presence, he came into a room, people noticed him -- louis black, he was a friend. so the south africans wanted to deal with the united states, they had to deal with a black man, but not just a black man, a black man who was tremendously able person with stature, that you look up to. then i had a request for a meeting with oliver, /whofts the head of the amc, nelson mandela's organization. the anc was con troversial. it had its dealings with moscow. lots of antagonism towards them and the cong

they are a people who live in namibia and botswana, in southern africa.ve in a semi-arid or desert region. it's a very tough environment in whi tsurvive. and they are hunter-gatherers. they are peo who live o t land. people survive really on the margins in that environment. it's very easy to go across the line and to get into real trouble through sickness. so the alleviation of sickness and suffering is a regular need that has to be addressed. the healing ceremonies that the kung perform are one way of addressing those needs of restoring balance and harmony and health. the sound of the music itself is a healing sound. the music comes to people on a subconscious level. it gets right to the core. and it has a way of transforming you. one of the most interesting things about the healing ceremonies of the kung is that there aren't any words. there's no text at all. yet that music is very powerful, very moving, very, very emotional music. and how does that work? you know, you hear people singing, and they're yodeling. you hear this wonderful melody, little fra

. >> after i met with mandela in wind does hook, namibia i went to pretoria, south africa to meet with. decler, first time i had gone to south africa as secretary of state. as a matter of fact during my meeting with mandela he was not happy with the fact that we were going to meet with f.w. declerc, but our position was we wanted to try to work with him constructively to end apartheid. mandela didn't want to see us do that. as it turned out ended up being the right thing to do. but when i met with f.w. declerc at the end of our meeting he called me in to a room, just the two of us, he said, mr. secretary, i want to tell you something. i am going to be the last white president of south africa. that was a startling statement at the time if you think back to 1990. as it turned out, of course, that was correct. >> schieffer: why do you think it took so long for them to take nelson mandela off the terrorist watch list? they had to get a waiver for him to come to in the country, i think he finally wasn't taken of until 2008? >> well, i don't know the answer to that, bob. i really don't. i do

>> this was in namibia, at the independence of that country. >> father leney was representing rachelnlandingham, and he met nelson mandela. father was a humble man. he walked up to nelson mandela and introduced himself saying, "pleased to meet you, i'm the prime minister of vanuatu, a small county in the south pacific", mr nelson mandela looked at him and said vanuatu, i know your country you say the government is illegitimate and called for strong actions in support. >> he knew. >> he did. despite 27 years in prison, he knew who was supporting him and who were taking different positions and was very as tute and insightful always. >> how did that make your people people, that he knew that it was not in vain? >> father was surprised, pleased and happy. he reported this when he went back home and people were very moved because rachel vanlandingham is a small country, and it has many issues itself. one of the biggest is climate change. it always felt that the new south africa was a great ally for the maul island countries with respect to climate change and global warming and water issue

reagan administration put pressure on the south african government to withdraw their forces from namibias." i would love to reflect on the time in history that they are talking about and nelson mandela's legacy. >> the legacy is enormous as tom knows better than know and reverend al who was in the movement. covering it from this end, i was impressed with other republicans who stood up and said you have to change the tell us. it was the congress and starting with maxine waters and the californians, the congress and the black caucus. the late bilbray was such a hero of this movement. those were the people who pressed for compromise and tried to come up with a consensus that reagan could finally go along with. that was the first veto overridden in a century actually when ron would reagan's veto was overridden with strong republican support. it showed that the pressure that had been building on campus started in the congressional black caucuses as reverend al pointed out. it built to the point where it was irresistant and the united states was joining with world condemn nation with what was

the speaker right now is the president of namibia.ate bayobab has fallen, the biggest, oldest trees sometimes in the world, the trunk, the tremendous size of the man and the fact that the roots are now out. i think it's a wonderful analogy, too. >> i do, too. you know, as one who's covered so much conflict around the world, you can help but internalize this notion that without the kind of forgiveness that mandela was able to exhibit, that's not just something, not just something between classroom bullies. it is the quintessential element of conflict resolution, forgiveness is a political tool to get over what seems to be intractable conflict. i honestly can't help but think right now about israel and the palestinians and any number -- >> israel who doesn't have leadership here today. >> yes, the president is here, the prime minister did not come. >> the prime minister did not come. the president is here. >> yes. >> what does that mean by the way? >> the president is the head of state. he's come. nonetheless, the prime minister ben min

clearer example of the transformation that we need to realize that south africa, rwanda, and nvidia -- namibia, all you have to do is look at the country health partnerships. these are a model for how they are transitioning to providing direct aid and delivering support for locally run and self-sustaining efforts. this is a vital effort. we have global commitments that should give greater can't finance -- confidence to this mission. i am encouraged by the increased investments from the united kingdom, denmark, norway, sweden, and canada, as well as germany and france. all of them are extending their high levels of commitment as the president just said. do not leave our money on the table. if everybody steps up, we will do even more and meet this challenge. it is a great honor to host the global fund conference in washington this week. as i speak this evening, it is safe to say that we really are chartering a new writing -- writing a new chapter. when it comes to the global fund, there are lessons to be learned. the way that we have leveraged our commitments inspires greater contributions from
