::Alfred, I hope you'll find that your desire to use this wiki as a soapbox for the rehabilitation of apartheid will be met with a cold shoulder at best. Trying to compare Mandela with Bin Laden is inexcusable. Yes, the ANC used violence in the fight against apartheid - as well they had to, since apartheid--like all colonialism--was a violent state of affairs.

I agree the National Party regime did use violence to control illegal protests and riots, but Mandela WAS convicted of terrorism, no matter how you look at it.
And since he was convicted of terrorism this should be included in his article.
I find you are being very unco-operative, talking of how you "hope" I will be met with a cold shoulder. This is not my soap-box for the "rehabilitation of Apartheid", I am merely editting articles to the best of my ability and knowledge.
All of the information I have put down has come from reliable sources, either newspaper articles or from history books. I have not fabricated anything.
