Mandela's past
Mandela's past is what it is. What his wife did is recorded for those that want to dig it up.
I watched it live on TV (may have even been CNN) as he was released from prison. Little confused on the details because I couldn't remember them exactly - something about an island prison (?) and brought to the mainland?
Anyway that release had a profound affect on S. Africa and the new direction it would take - good or bad.
His being alive, I think, also had a calming affect on the country through the years. With his passing the lip has been lifted.
