global convention of solidarity with palestine and where the grandson of the anti-partite hero nelson mandelard for this international mobilization of resources and arms for palestine or palestinian resistance to defeat israel uh zweivil mandola said that this would have been his grandfather's approach and and these were the some of the statements that he made on this first on what was the first day of the fifth global convention of solidarity with palestine in johannesburg some speakers are speaking now let listen to what they're saying by the amendment of al-jamar was not acceptable because we asked not only to send the ambassador away but to demolish the embassy in south africa to completely wipe off palestine of the face of the... country of south africa, so we've also raised in parliament like the honorable imam sheikh, much more uh enthusiastic than myself, a real fighter for palestine, we've asked that weapons be sent to the resistance in palestine, because when i was in libya in 1972 at the bengazry office of the plo, we discuss uh libya sending weapons to angola and from angola with

and the resistance or the solidarity or the support was based and b. around nelson mandela, today in leader chief nelson mandella, chief manla mandilla, the grand son of former president nelson mandella, i'd like you to put your hands together for chief, we know, we know the extent of his sacrifice, the extent of his leadership in a south african context, he has made sure that he has made contact with all the solidarity movements in south africa so that we can be one united front when we come together here for this particular conference. further i would like to say south africa plays pivotal role in the solidarity with the palestinians and i would like to say to all the palestinian. brothers and sisters we have gathered here, we stand with you, we stand uncompromising for the liberation and freedom of palestine, we stand uncompromising with the people of gazza, and we make the statement to say that hammas, whilst the united states of america or the europeans want to declare them a terrorist state or want to associate hamas with isis, in the south african context we say, "hammas is le

makaziwe mandela, social justice advocate and daughter of nelson mandela. , honor to have you here in the studio tonight. honor you came with us this morning. your father passed away ten years ago this week. after leaving an indelible -- on south africa and the whole world and on me and other activists in our own work as activists. and now you have this new book from your own account of his oldest living daughter. i'm humbled that -- to cite you hit me right before word. so i know how powerful it is. for my audience watching, what do we learn from this book that we didn't know about your father before? >> i have to say, thank you very much, reverend. and to say -- i chose you to write a foreword to this book because you followed and my father's footsteps. my father's name is -- one is bright enough to challenge the status quo and i think that's looking at your career, you have always challenged things on behalf of those who have passed and in this country and you don't mince your words. you have been true and effective to yourself. so the reason why i wrote

our struggle hero, but you know the interesting thing is when people here nelson mandela, they think of a grandfather of the nation and someone who is always full of smiles, but the fact is that nelson mandela was warrior, he did not smile. his way to freedom, the terrorist, so anc, his political party was a terrorist organization, and you know that went from terrorist organization to the peace prize in 193, so yeah, that's it's just fascinating that people only see one side of nelson mandela, forget the role that he played, it was because of him that the anc took armed struggle, so that was what been about. 1961 i believe um and yeah it's just i would really appreciate it if around the world people can understand that it does take an on struggle you don't he didn't sit in in prison for 27 years just to and come out of and miraculously we had we had freedom it was a journey and palestine will undergo that same journey and hopefully palestine see freedom within our lifetime okay and you said that anc was called. terrorist entity now western media, corporate media are trying to portray

now, as we reflect on nelson mandela's legacy, here's a look from my archive and interview with mandela'st surviving fellow prisoner. pe peter hayne joined us for this conversation. >> we're happy to be sentenced even to life imprisonment. we're happy, because we escaped the death penalty. we know that ultimately we will come out. but we're very, very excited and happy that we're not sentenced to death. >> andrew, do you remember that moment when the world whole was watching the release? >> yes. >> what emotion did you feel when you saw that? >> i was quite happy to see him come out. i said to myself that the government kept their promise that after a few months, he will follow. >> just a few months before his release? >> to see how the people in the country are going to behave, because originally they were saying we fear that if we relrez mandela, the country will go up in flames. when they released us, we knew how they would behave. >> were you angry when you came out? were you resentful of the injustice of all those years in prison? >> all of us decided that we cannot hon our own run t

hell to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the demise of south african anti-apartite icon nelson mandela, the fifth convention of solidarity with palestine reiterated the right to resist as struggles globally have proved the effectiveness of a multipronged approach to confront oppression and the colonial project. from the river to the see hosted by mandala mandela, the grandson of nelson mandela, he recalled how his grandfather galvinized the support of frontline african states to support an effective resistance against the apartite regime. he noted that arab countries must adopt a similar position and shoulder their responsibility. the conference also heard that mandela himself was called a terrorist when he resisted oppression. he also raised arms for. the african national congress, we therefore call on each and everyone in this conference to ensure that you adopt nelson mandela's way, go to your countries, mobilize resources, mobilize arms for the palestinian resistance to effectively wage their struggle so that we can defeat the brutal apart regime of. prior attended by spectrum of m

and prayers and want to thank all those that participated in this session as we looked into nelson mandela's legacy and how it can be able to shape and give a directive and support to the palestinian cause and i think there are various lessons to be learned out of president nelson mandela's legacy, i think as a person that was born and raised as a christian, madiba only believed and was educated that the only religion that existed in the world was christianity, he would have been very happy today to witness jews, christians and muslims sitting together and engaging in this dialogue. i say this because madiba only learned about other religions when he arrived in johannesburg in 1941. it was through his friend molvi kachalia that madiba came to learn the tenents of islam here in johannesburg, so he came to work very. closely with the muslim community in fortsberg and in mayfair as well as jews here in johannesburg and therefore this has been a wonderful to watch all religions coming together under this roof and working together constructively to come up with resolutions in support of the pales

we therefore call on each and everyone in this conference to ensure that you adopt nelson mandela's way, go to your countries, mobilize resources, mobilize arms for the palestinian resistance to effectively weiged their struggle so that we can defeat the brutal apartite regime. of israel, attended by spectrum of movements from around the world, the conference considered the role of all spheres of society in activating awareness. in south africa, for example, women and youth proved cornerstones of the resistance, often paving the way, but their cries and resolute steadfastness were heard and seen, which resulted in a global mobilization to act, something participants say arab countries have failed so far. when i talk to you, i talk more. more in pain than in anger, we would have expected some islamic countries who would say that they support the palestinian cose to cut relations with the israelis as did south africa is not an islamic, not an arabic country, why they don't have the relations with the israelis, why they continue to have trade with the israelis up till now? why? if they rea
