Nelson Mandela Speaks for Clinton's During Lewinsky Scandal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2014
- Nelson Mandela’s relationship with the Clinton family reflected genuine friendship from an early stage, stemming from their matching personalities and the Clintons’ swift intellect, according to an insider account.
“It’s quite noticeable how broad their view was of the world, how informed they all are - all three of them - about all details of the very small countries around the world,” Zelda la Grange, the woman who served as Mandela’s private secretary from 1997 until his death, said in an interview about her new memoir, “Good Morning, Mr. Mandela.”
In recounting his memory of Mandela, after his passing, Bill Clinton called him the “only free man I ever knew.” However, Clinton also alluded to “disagreements, which, believe it or not, occasionally occurred.” But Clinton and Mandela fundamentally agreed on many issues surrounding freedom and equality, and found propinquity in teasing each other in playful amusement.
“Madiba was always ragging me because it was my job when I was president to rag him about being friends with Gaddafi and Castro,” Clinton jokingly recounted.
The story begins with Bill at a charity auction - when he is informed by the hosting organization that Mandela had expressly desired Clinton bid on a certain item, not specifically saying what it was - leaving Clinton with the impression that he would know what Mandela was referring to when he saw it.
The auction started and continued with items announced for bid one after the next, but none of the items offered for sale bared any significance to Clinton - in reference to his relationship with Mandela, until finally a fine-quality Cuban rum was announced for bid. Clinton immediately got the joke.
“I think I paid $11,000 for that bottle of rum,” Clinton said laughing, without regard for the fact he could not even bring it back with him to the United States, given the embargo imposed on Cuban goods. Originally enacted in 1958, the United States - Cuba trade embargo has been one of the most enduring embargoes in modern history.
In 1999, President Bill Clinton expanded the trade embargo by disallowing foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies to trade with Cuba in any capacity. However in 2000, Clinton did authorize the sale of humanitarian aid to Cuba.
As for the $11,000 rum, Clinton "didn’t have the capacity to consume it all before returning to the United States.” Furthermore, Clinton never mentioned what he did with the item he was successful in obtaining. The rum was ironically a gift to Madiba from Cuban President, and longstanding U.S. adversary, Fidel Castro.
Still, throughout Mandela's life and their friendship, Clinton struggled to understand one unusual aspect of Mandela's story that still puzzles him to this day.
"How did he go through all this and come out a better man than he went in?” Clinton often found himself pondering, once finally asking Mandela: “Tell me the truth - when you were walking to freedom - didn't you hate them again?” Clinton Continued, “What I loved about him, because he was not saint of course, he said: 'Of course I did, but I got over it in three seconds.'"
Mandela, wise beyond his years, knew that if he continued to carry the burden of hatred in his heart he would forever remain a prisoner. - "'I wanted to be free so I let it go.’”
“As a friend, Madiba was to people one-on-one the same way he was as leader and even to his adversaries who he put in government,” Clinton said. “He lived as he governed.”
“We cannot allow his legacy, his memory, his meaning, to drift into the history books, to become a distant memory,” Clinton said. “He must be as real to people who never knew him, as real to children who cannot remember him, as real to grandchildren who are not yet born as he is to those of us who loved him.”

Madiba, you are now gone but your presence still lives on.
He sold his country. White people own 96% of the land.
I never realized how hilarious the late President, Nelson Mandela was. "When I turned 70 in prison, this lady came to see me to know how a man of 70 looks like. Now I turned 80, I suspect many of you came here to see how a man of 80 looks like."😊😊😊😊😊😊❤👍
President Mandela was such a heart-felt human being, who brought people into his views, instead of segregating people. I wish someone who doesn't look like me, was of the same heart and mindset in America. We'd be so much more unified, without having to think about being retaliated upon. Praise God for his forever presence and heart!
And the way he help create a inclusive national anthem was phenomenal.

Thank you immensely, Rev Bernice King for the inspiring speech! God Bless you always!
So blessed to stumble on this video. Great speeches from world leaders. May the soul of our father Madiba continue to rest in peace.
😊❤
Rest in peace President Nelson Mandela.
In my life you are the big example of leadership, president Mandela, man of the world.
I am afraid I have to say this and Mandela was not the man he was betrayed and was part of the Marxist/communist ANC that has destroyed are destroying SA. A interesting and honest comment by an African Intellectual to sum up the reasons for Africa's lack of progress was (1) Corruption (20 marxism. Marxism is one of the most evil and fatal ideologies in human history . It is closely related to national socialism and is demonic in nature. Anyone that is attached to it will regret it. As Jesus said "By there deeds shall ye know them. i am afraid to say that the deeds of Mandela and the ANC and the results are not good and very destructive
Thank you for sharing this 🙏 👏
The wrong question is "what can we do for Africa", the right question is "what can we do with Africa". Great and profound words Tatana Mandela. We remember you in a happy way sir

Great things happen only through struggle.Thank you President Nelson Mandela for your struggle.
Nelson Mandela spoken on behalf of whole Africa,thank you very much late nelson Mandela,RIP.
H.E Madiba Nelson Mandela is a real state's man, a great discerner who even touched the hearts of the Cubians, Libyans, Israel and quite contrary to the expectations of some of his American friends. And that is what its meant to be a real man and leader.
How I pray even my Ugandan President, and ambitious Presidential candidate's have something to learn from his leadership.
Prof. PLO Lumumba, will yet speak to African leaders of today.
Cherished Madiba....
Nelson Mandela is God's gift to the nation of South Africa
I keep watching this time and time again. Inspiring......!
"Our morality does not allow us to desert our friends. Great Wisdom Mr. Mandela" Your legacy lives forever Tata Madiba! Rest in peace,
Thanks for that great words, Mandela great man.
MANDELLA WAS BORN LUCKY FOR LEADERSHIP.
Today has been a day of great reflection. I have just listened to three great speeches of the world's harshly and unfairly judged people of our time. I was in the USA when Clinton started his run for President. Back home I watched the election night till morning. I admire his sincerity and humility. As for Madiba bless his soul one of the greatest human beings of our time. I had to go to Roben Island to see for myself what he endured.

Mandela demonstrated true forgiveness and reconciliation. Having visited Robin Island and seen the prison cell where he was held for 27yrs and the small grass mat where he spent nights, with the cheapest blanket of the time, I can only, but salute him for his forgiving and reconciliatory character.

Mr. Clinton was a very humble person. He was criticized for his infidelity but if you all search your own soul I'm sure that you too hold many secrets. They may never be revealed in public but "We All Have Our Cross To Carry." Only God Can Judge Us. Peace Always. ✝️
His humility and wisdom is so obvious - the greatest role model for the entire world

Your words really touched my soul and I must tell you , you are inspired by the Almighty God .
After the painful looting and the distractions in my country south africa I decided to watch this to remember where we come from as a nation because of this men, Utata Nelson Mandela. Father of the nation.
I wish every young and old south africans can watch this. Thank you everyone.
Always remember my friend that it is still better than the Apartheid regime.
Absolutely Peter. We can achieve so much in SA if we do it together
My God, how the World loves a hero.

Iam very appreciated for that program,and also I wish to everyone to be selected

I Truly love all those speeches.
Madiba, may your memory continue to be a blessing.
"We have often said that our morality does not allow us to desert our friends."
What a wonderful speech!
What is Good for One, Is good For ALL.FORGIVENESS.
"Like father, like daughter (son)", Rev Bernice King, "chip of e old block". Awe n inspiring speech. So many God loving people in one sitting. Nelson Mandela, may his soul rest in eternal peace. Pray, God's grace, will grant this world more of such leaders for e sake of peace n humanity.
It's refreshing to listen to departed great leaders. They left us their wisdom. It's like also listening to our late President Mugabe addressing the U.N. General assembly. May all great leaders who departed rest in peace.
Woow I have actually no words to say!!! He is the BEST ORATOR OG OUR TIME. R.I.P PAPA MADIBA
Mandela says to a white little South African girl that if she studies hard she can be the president of South Africa one day, that says a lot about the man.
Love this so much. Can this be subtitled? RIP President Mandela, we salute you...
“...that’s a lot to say, especially after this life. Remember the point”. That last note by Clinton gave me chills.
inspiring speech indeed.
I luv RUclips because of what I have become through this channel and I pray to affect others as well ..
Hillary spoke with lot of clarity, Rev. Bernice powerful voice, expression of her conviction🥰
Taking an apartheid from one's heart.
Our morality does not allow us to desert our friends- Mandela 😍
Thank you Madiba..
I teared up listening to the latter part of the speech.A man of wisdom.Love you madiba
May God bless his soul. Being an African, I am very proud of him.
Absolutely inspirational
C'est vraiment vrai 🎉
Thank you sir

you know he will never be the greatest,what did he do to his people besides having himself released from prison. tell me honestly why he is the greatest. staying in prison for 27 yrs then do nothing for your people. did he go to prison so that he will be popular with the western world on release kikikiki he is not great in any way .look at Mugabe,can you compare him with mandela. no ways Mugabe fought for his people look how the economy is in the hands of his people
