Quotes from Nelson Mandela ahead of #NMBme2016 Elections

By

There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people. “True, the struggle will be a bitter one. Leaders will be deported, imprisoned, and even shot.
