RIP, Mandela.

He managed not only to end apartheid in South Africa, but he also prompted the secong biggest agreement on Frothers, that one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.

Wasn't it Ghandi who said that he actually only was a pacifist because he considered it the only effective strategy for that particular struggle and context?

Mandela was originally all for peaceful protest, it was only after the shooting of unarmed protestors that he began advocating armed resistance. He said that at that period of his life he felt that Ghandi only got away with non violence because the British were at core a civilised people who could be negotiated with, while the Afrikaans were barbarians who only understood force.

Bundle!

Afrikaners not Afrikaans! Though, to be fair to Duff, the language this particular "persecuted ethnic minority" speak is pretty barbaric.

What's the point in using your mouth when you have a perfectly good nose to speak through?

The real trick to Afrikaans is trying to talk without moving your lips. Try it with loan words like aardvark, meerkat, commando, spoor, trek and apartheid and you'll sound like a Dutchman for sure.
