Mandela made the ‘did i paralyze you’ comment because Koppel was speechless when Mandela called out his clear bias during the interview. It was a long awkward silence from Koppel after Mandela’s response and hence he seemed to have been paralyzed.
A man that understood the need for all South Africans to work together. Say what you must about the evil committed on both sides, A South Africa divided will slide into civil war.
Lone voice? Madiba was always at pains to point out that he was not alone, but a member of an organisation (the ANC), which itself joined up with others to form a larger group (the UDM). His comrades included Walter Sisulu, Oliver Tambo, Ahmed Kathrada, Winnie Mandela, Govan Mbeki and more. Past struggle veterans include Chief Albert Luthuli (who won a Nobel Peace Prize) and then there was the new generation who came after him, including Thabo Mbeki, Terror Lekota and Cyril Ramaphosa.
Many of the whites in South Africa did not support apartheid, but knew that handing power over to the ANC would lead to full blown communism. That is where South Africa is now.
You should have asked him about the people he had murdered, including ordering bombings while in prison. He wasn't in prison for his political beliefs but for terrorism. Ask him about necklacing.
What a about your apartheid killers squads killing so many people but still u racists will have your day on judgement day . Mandela wasn't perfect but he was a leader not like the racist leaders before him . Our country is doing fine u just sour coz you lost power .
Mr spillers u know nothing about apartheid , and u don't how it is to be a person of color... U need to shut ur mouth and be quiet...and show some respect and if u can't then be quiet....
Lafarrus Pennington anyone who chooses to kill innocent people will always be a murderer. Black on black violence far out weights the white on black statistics. And that was only in the years leading up to the ANC being elected post apartheid.
@ You want to compare notes? During apartheid we were murdered, shot right in the middle of classrooms and at home when we were in bed. And it was all legal. We couldn't even call the police because the police were the ones doing it.
@@alicegauteng2358 You are lying and you know it. The police were in townships to eliminate ANC and communist intimidation through fear by necklacing and violence. The world is getting wise to ANC lies.
@@boerqwhaas I guess you believed the propaganda of the apartheid regime about how they were "protecting" us. In 2020 there is no reason to be sheep and believe everything you were fed. For Chrissake do your research!
"With these tires and these matches, we shall liberate this country". Real nice lady, dousing people in petrol and rubber and then setting them on fire.
Daar is 'n sekere waarheid in jou woorde, Marcus Dayton. Mandela het vir De Klerk ore aangesit. Maar Mandela kon nie PW ore aan sit nie. So lank as wat Mandela 'n geweldadigde omverwerping van die Regering ondersteun het, sou Mandela in die tronk bly. But it is also so that when a person die he normally put a cemetery. That means he must get out of jail. What did America did to Bin Ladin? Ben Ladin was never in a jail...

The question Mandela was asking when he paralyzed Koppel was regarding Mandela's support for the Palestinian people.
Didier Ortiz k
Ted Koppel. Was a real reporter when tv news was real
Now journalists are tools for government propaganda
I found out that one of his best friends was the guard who guarded Mr Mandela who was amazing was a Afrikanner
I think he was an anglo. However he had many Afrikaaners friends such as Bram Fischer, De Klerk, PW Botha, Pik Botha....
I love South Africa and all the issues we have in it
Me too. And am not even South African.
A true hero, worthy of emulation. From a Nigerian
WTF?!?! You guys are a week early. Madiba is still in Pretoria, and will only be going to Qunu on Saturday 14 Dec.
He's no longer with us :(
wtf
why show the traitor face of Pik Botha but it goes about mandela
What a great story!
African hero
Am I the only one who does not support apartheid neither Mandela? I like all his poltical work for ending apartheid and stuff but not his ideology.
Carles Manrich i Peres me too

@@Bennevisie Yup, I know. And as a NP member said to a Catalan newspaper "many of us did not vote the national party out of racism but out of fear".
Great man
Watch Niteline as a kid of 1980's and young adult in 1990' . Ted Koppel is True Journalist very sad there are not many left in Big Media .
Yes and now look where our beautiful Suid Afrika is now. 😭😭😭
if I was alive when this happened I would be so fucking depressed
lonely voice? its a shame considering so many people that died or went to prison fighting against apartheid
90% of people that died in the political instability in south africa were killed by the anc and their communist buddies
@@jensjensen9035 Stop embarrassing yourself
Yeah yeah ted. We understood you were not paralyzed
You should have asked him about the people he had murdered, including ordering bombings while in prison. He wasn't in prison for his political beliefs but for terrorism. Ask him about necklacing.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s hero....
What a about your apartheid killers squads killing so many people but still u racists will have your day on judgement day . Mandela wasn't perfect but he was a leader not like the racist leaders before him . Our country is doing fine u just sour coz you lost power .
Bloody beast. What took you to Africa? Do you still recall the land of your ancestors? From a Nigerian.

Journalist are supposed to be unbiased but this guy clearly was biased.
Will Koppel report on what a total mess South Africa is today?
It was a mess during apartheid in my village we did not have electricity and running water taps

South Africa is famous for its wild animals, some of whom have governed the country.
Bobo the Budgie Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😲🚮🚮🚮
@Thabo Sethipa And Zuma and Cyril
😂😂😂 You Racist Busted.
hahahahahahahaha.
To me it’s hard to honor Nelson Mandela without honoring Winnie Mandela!
Winnie liked necklaces. Poor Stompie.
"With these tires and these matches, we shall liberate this country". Real nice lady, dousing people in petrol and rubber and then setting them on fire.
I was a student on the 80s and I think "'necklace" was a good and efficient tool to use.
LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF WINNIE NOMZAMO MADIKIZELA-MANDELA!!!!
@@Bennevisie And that was in response to what????
@@alicegauteng2358 Go ahead, try to justify it.
South Africa is in trouble now, so you must come and and cover the disaster busy unfolding here in witch you played a part in creating.
He's too much of an coward to come looj at his handiwork.
By trouble you mean tables have turned?
NKULLY KABINI 500 000 vs 7000 yes there is a serious problem.
Nice story :)
Greatest man to have lived!!
