- In 1961 ITN reporter Brian Widlake met Nelson Mandela, while he was in hiding, to conduct the former president's first ever TV interview. The 42-year-old was on the run from the police at the time, and Widlake had to pull some strings to arrange to meet him in his hideout, with the interview part of a longer ITN Roving Report programme about apartheid.
The following year Mandela was arrested on allegations of sabotage and other charges and sentenced to life in prison, where he spent 27 years before finally being freed. Report by Andrea Lilly.

He will never be forgotten
It’s so messed up that this brilliant man was viewed as a dangerous criminal. All he wanted was freedom and full autonomy for the lives of his people. It’s a crying shame that he was jailed.
That’s British 🤷🏽♂️
It was legalised immorality, just because something is legal doesn't mean it's just or moral.
Need to go do some research my buddy. Bombed malls and banks full of women and children. The modern term this is terrorism
Such is the case with all those who choose to engage in defensive violence against oppression when all nonviolent methods have been exhausted. The oppressor will say anything to prevent the overthrow of their systems.
@@kabilanreally? Wasn’t it South African police and justice system that deemed him a criminal?
We dug through our archives to bring you this amazing video. Nelson Mandela gave ITN his very first TV interview back in 1961, three years before he was jailed. See what he had to say while he was in hiding, and tell us what you think! This is definitely one to share.

He's a thug!
@@respectamerica2382 He's the catalyst to the Apartheid State, a bunch of racist thugs.
Never seen Mandela this young
What an incredible interview.
We need the whole interview man.
Born in a royal family he could have led his own life... But this great man has led his whole life for the people of Africa 🙏
He lived his life for the people of South Africa not Africa
NO he stood for South Africa people,Not Africa. Tell me what he did for Africa
@@monicanundwe2459 comment was purely about his work and the life he had lived. Not to whom. I will though surely edit and add SOUTH 👍
He was killed in prison.
This is the real mandela
What the hell are you saying 😂
This is The Mandela 😞
What an amazing man.
So that’s the interview that blew his cover,this fellow must have gone straight to the authorities with the tape 😢
I think so too💔💔💔
Nelson Mandela at his best
there are many people who feel it is useless and futile for us to continue talking peace and non violence,against a government whos only response is savage attacks agains unarmed and defenseless people
Nduduzo Mngomezulu profound ✊🏿
The question of education has nothing to do with the question of votes 😂😂😂 ..madiba
❤️❤️❤️
"By any means necessary" Malcolm X
The real Mandela.
POWERFUL MESSAGE , HE CAME BACK A CHANGED MAN AFTER PRISON
Remember he passed away in 1967
Well respected, Leader of our lifetime. We salute you Tata,
Wish you were here😢😢😢
Indeed God has brought to us a Great man on Earth
The woman's voiceover ruins this (almost)!
Disagree that nonviolence isn't the tactic that should always be employed...
I disagree
Why?
Blessed man r.i.p Mr madela
Father of the Nation
THANK YOU MADIBA
The man, the legend and the myth. An epitome of everything leadership.
Viva Mandela Viva Madiba
Being "All about peace" gained him a presidency of a new nation.
If he had used Taliban methods he would be where the Taliban is today.
Being feared is pointless and unsustainable.
Feared people are hunted by the fearless.
There is no benefit in being feared, only inevitable loss
wise words
But peace cost him and millions of Africans 30 years of suffering after this interview. Listen to the condescending talk of this interviewer. These whites felt invincible and were proud. Backed by the USA and UK, the phony minority government helped the West get rich off millions of poor black labour.
This did not age well🤣
The Gran Turismo 6 demo is out today :D Just thought i'd let you all know...
This man died in 1967.
ahhh!! Dalinbhunga
No sound
It's crazy that olden day English sounds so, well, old. Even the African sounds olden day English.
It's not African. It's Canaanite.
They totally do. I used to get marvelled by English accent of my African black grandparents who lived in South Africa their whole lives.
Correction first President!
I HOPE HE GETS BETTER FOR HIS 95TH BIRTHDAY ON 18TH JULY, 9 DAYS TIME.
My leader
He asked some stupid questions 🙄
And some questions were very condescending. But, white people will "white"...
This is Gibson Makanda this people knows very well what they did to our legend Mandela, but from a distance God is watching them 😢
Great interview! Thank you! July 18 marks the Nelson Mandela Day celebrating Nelson Mandela's legacy with a global call to take #ActionAgainstPoverty. We dedicate this music czcams.com/video/xGQDTxkm9WY/video.html to this great man who spent 27 years in jail for fighting against racial segregation. Let’s make every day a #MandelaDay. ❤
😲😲😲
He looks younger
Ur rude!
The young with very round face and narrow lips is original mandela. This old man with v shape face and wide lips is a copy of mandela
Very true.
They are two people because of the more than 25 years gap.
The young and the old.
What's that in his head....lool
It is his cultural materials Xhosa in South Africa wears those things in their heads
Ngu nyoko
Something
@@kingsaya23 😂😂😂😂 #dead
Not the same man
2:53
I didn't know Mandela was half Chinese...
He is half Nguni half khoi khoi like many Nguni thembu xhosas mixed tribes they hv small eyes bcos khoi khoi got small eyes like Asians
Loll no he isnt you crazy its nature his eyes, he is native african.
🤣
Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali, Pele and Barack Obama , 4 ,men who changed the world
Obama? That war criminal?😂
Lets take out obama swap with malcom x
Obama was only voted in cause he was black, ask most blacks why they voted for him.
Obama?😂
One kinda people
Oppressing
One kinda people
One kinda people
Come back and teach
One kinda people
How to be free
! ! !
so what is his speciality? Mandela is everyone everywhere in their heart.
Reporter asked him African can do that? well
I should say the same question to people who had colonialism. ,Did you guy do really nice to people? Are you sure?
then I will ask again When do you satisfy? Now? or For future after suck economy?
then I will ask again Right education now? Higher education than his mind? Well well well then Why did you ask him. I will ask you can you handle it. maybe not.
The White man's God a God complex.
Doucoure
The White man sees himself as a god !
Iron Maiden's song ""Run to the hills" sums up the White mans thinking . I am white myself , the more I got older the more I see how entitled some white men are and how they think they are superior , and it disgusts me no end
....only political freedom...?
the guy below me has no life lmao i see him everytume i go to this channels comment section
And a white man never lie...
So-called white man always lie!
it is a pity that Mandela didn't do what the Taliban is doing to it's enemy. He was all about peace and that didn't do much to prevent all the racial insults he is getting from one his last days alive.
it is better to be feared than to be loved in this divided world.
you are very dark. Get some ice cream
You fool!
Hate will only lead to more hate. He saved his country by forgiving his enemies and preventing civil war.
Black but not born in Africa. It's weird to hear a white man ask if Africans can develop and govern their country without Europeans as if they weren't doing that before they came. Like huh?
So many people who are still living in a dark after soo many year Mandela give the white people want did they want as a black people ....Wanga umphefumlo wakho ungaba uphumle ngoxolo naphakada Tata umadiba aahhhhhh dalibunga
Mandala looks part Asian, interesting eyes.
Darla Owens you mean Asians looks part African. Africans have been all over this world long before others who occupy the lands
Tribal his they were procreating amongst their own tribe
sza
Yabona ayikalungi lento abelungu bengakasho ukuthi uNelson Mandela lona okhuluma lapha bamshonisaphi ayinginiki ukuthula emoyeni wami lena
Mandela was a guerillero, he 2as not a peaceful man.
Did you not listen to the flippen interview mate!
what do you expect he is an afrikaaner
Peaceful protest led to African people being massacred. The apartheid regime was not interested in talking back then, only brutality. Many people felt like they had no choice.
