- 1990 Town Hall Meeting with Nelson Mandela of South Africa.
This meeting, held in New York and chaired by Ted Koppel of ABC Networks, formed part Nelson Mandela's first visit to the USA immediately following his release after 27 years in prison.
Much of the meeting focused on Nelson Mandela's advocating of sanctions against Apartheid South Africa, his support for the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) as well as his close friendship with Yasser Arafat (of Palestine) and Fidel Castro (of Cuba).
It is important to note that this meeting took place in 1990, long before the world embraced Nelson Mandela or the ANC, yet, even then, Mandela stood firm and resolute on his and the ANC's policies even though it could have "hurt" his and the ANC's "image", for example his support for the Palestinian and Cuban people.
NB: The video is incomplete, we could not get the full archived video. Our apologies.
He answered every question without flinching. This shows a man of great principles and conviction. ❤️
Biden-esque!
@@WonLotto100MYou wish. Biden doesn’t have half of Nelson Mandela’s integrity! Americans are too shallow to even be compared to this as great man.
YET, HE WAS JAILED FOR 27 YEARS BY THE WHITES, SUPPORTED BY ALL WESTERN COUNTRIES AND LABELLED AS A COMMUNIST TERRORIST???
Mandela at that time was older man there were no question that He had not heard 1000x before he was prepared to deal with any topic with wisdom
❤@@WonLotto100M
This the best interview I have ever watched in my life, Nelson Mandela carried the kind of wisdom every leader needs!!!!a MAN WHO CHANGES HIS PRINCIPLES LOOKING AT THE BASE OF WHO HE IS DEALING WITH IS NOT A MAN TO LEAD A COUNTRY!!
This man was a man who understood himself more than anything, that is why he could handle each question as it came!!!!
Yes..Donald trump is not fit to lead
I had just left the Army. and was sharing with teenagers in my care his release. Live on TV. Then I had them watch. Do the right thing..even though. I was. Naughty. Fuck

❤absolutely CORRECT
30 years later and apartheid still exists...in PALESTINE! The world needs to learn that we are all one and equal.
True. So and the most powerfuI nations are all too happy to encourage this to continue.
💔😢even in South Africa
We not equal.. black is the first created

my late President was one of a kind :)

Mandela: I expect you to be consistent!
Koppel: Complete silence

❤absolutely CORRECT
In this interview l learnt that it is not embarrassing to not know something when he says, "I do not understand what you mean, perhaps if you can clarify what you are referring to, I may be in a position to comment...". Even in job interviews it has become my weapon.
Hé knows Very Well in first place But Mandela is Very smart
Every single word that Mr Mandela has said is worth weighing in Gold . A great leader and a great human .
❤yes absolutely CORRECT
33 years ago and even more relevant today.
This is a brave man with a mind of his own. He was never out there to please anyone at all!
Whenever I want to inspire myself of becoming an exemptional leader, I go back and watch Sir Mandela speech....Still Watching this in 2023❤❤
Forever in our minds
❤absolutely CORRECT and true
Nelson Mandela spoke the truth, what the Palestinian people are going through should concern all of our leaders
what a stupid comment, must be a zionist
❤exactly
First time I've listened to Sir Nelson Mandela, he talks with such logic and unbias, a very intelligent and honest man
Looking at this interview in 2023, the intelligence from Madiba is unmatched 👌👌👌👌
Absolutely
❤agreed 100%
South Africa for Palestinian people from then till today 🇵🇸 🇿🇦
For what you are going through, South Africa has seen before & there is always light at the end of the tunnel!
❤yes INDEED.
Nelson Mandela was a very very great leader and a brilliant and inspiring person. The way he handled these hostile questions is brilliant, dignified, inspirational. The world is very blessed to have had him with us for so many years.
He was indeed brilliant👌✊
Madeba, a great leader…proud to have been a part of the struggle to get him released from prison. Brings back sad memories of our struggles in the days of apartheid in South Africa…May his soul rest in peace🙏
Aameen
Briallant and fearless .
Thank you for what you have done for South Africa.
❤ well said and well OBSERVED
We were all blessed to have lived with such a great man. Amandla.
Awethu
It's my Prayer That Every Person Of Color Stand Up And Speak Out Like This Well Spoken Man. I Hate When People Try To Choose Our Friends As Well As Our Leaders For Us.
Madiba will never die in our hearts
The Spirit of Nelson Mandela Lives On !!! Forever Loved!!!
4 Ever a legend and forever in our hearts!
Agreed! @@amazingamazigh6847
Yes INDEED .
An awesome interview sir Nelson Mandela .I watch this interview every week and learn so much from your simpleness and your honesty
R.I.P SIR.
This video demonstrates why late Nelson Mandela was the greatest leader of the world in last 60 years.
Malcom X my was more brave and less compromising. But Mandela was great.
@@mothothebe5974 for most of his life Malcolm wanted the opposite of Mandela. Malcolm wanted black nationalism and Mandela wanted a multi racial society.
He was a puppet
@@joshme3659 indeed. I think it's a shame though, that only 9 or so months after his rejection of ethnic nationalism he was assassinated. Assassinated by black ethnic nationalists no less. Tragic indeed, imagine the great anti racist redemption he would've had if not for his murder
You cant even compare Mandela to Putin ...
The best president in last 100 years is Putin ...results speak for themself
It's so encouraging to see our African Leaders past and present display their talent to their countries and to the world.
Which African leaders now display their talent to the world? Answer: none
Every time I listen to this great one Sir Nelson Mandela i believes that we as black peoples can make a change for ourselves and the world that we r living in 👊🏿
Still watching this interview in 2021, long lives Nelson Mandela in our hearts.
Unfortunately all his great work has gone in vain. Black and white nationalism coupled with predatory capitalism has taken over. I am sure I will not see any rehabilitation in my lifetime as I live in exile. Good luck to my country of my birth and my countrymen as it's going to get much worse.
Well said 2022
I remember watching a video of this on CZcams but it had notes on each person who asked a question. It was stunning each person had their own agenda and seemed like they wanted Mandela to "slip" while answering...to bad it's no longer available. Such an intelligent man.
Am here again in 2024… I listen to them all; Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther, Malcom X, Bob Marley every start of the year.
❤well done . You are RIGHT and EXACT. You are following the CORRECT path
A very intelligent man and with pure honest love for his people. Something that lacks on today's politicians. RIP sir, heaven is full of love
Mr Mandela outsmarted all of them combined, what a great smart leader he was
Mohm
It was more than that. He had thought through all that bevause he's consistent
Outsmarted them or just told them the truth & facts?
@@kingsleyoppong-wereko7239 well if you don’t know the facts and Mandela does then he has outsmarted you
Mandela was one hell of a wonderfully made creation of God, this man is a Legend!
This will never age..
Agreed
An Unforgettable occasion
Yes INDEED.
My fave moment is when Mandela says to Koppel…58:05 - perhaps the most awkward moment of silence ever… where Mandela flips the script on Interviewer/Interrogator King Koppel and asks that question "I don't know if I have paralyzed you." LOVE THAT.
Audience erupts.. and then Mandela calmly winks to the audience indicating... "I got this." They shake hands and move on. Nice.
Mandela's control of anger, righteous indignation, and frustration with ignorance and ideologies is unlike any I've ever seen. Amazing.
Amazingly brilliant, talented and smart
That's what snakes are good at.....
@@woodfinchcrafts7267you should know cos you ate one!
For Me Nelson Mandela Is By Far The Greatest Leader & Servant Of Humanity In The Modern Era. I Have Deep Resonance & Reverance For How Towering, Fierce & Principled He Was As A Leading Force For Justice, Equality & Freedom. He Is My Hero & This Is My Favorite Moment On His Journey As A Commandant Of Transformation
#AmeriKKKa & “Great Britain” Were Fervent Supporters & Funders Of Apartheid Almost Until It Was Defeated In South Africa 🇿🇦 & Papa Never Forgot Who The Real Ones Are!
That is what happens one someone is totally uneducated. Absolute tripe spews out.
@@woodfinchcrafts7267 uneducated lol
If only you knew.
All my respect and admirarion for Nelson Mandela.
Thank you! Mr Mandela!
nelson mandela will never die in our hearts ,a hero and a great leader of all the times
Indeed Nelson Mandela was a fearless, principled and intelligent leader who demonstrated leadership skills not for his own personal gain but for the benefit of others. We have a lot to learn from him. "I don't know if I have paralysed you".
Still get the chills watching this
In 1965 i was in first grade elementary school in Yugoslavia and we learn in the school about struggle of Mr. MANDELA for the freedom of ssurh aftican black people and to have right to vote and be elected.
Perception is always Greater > than Con-ception By Graspmathologist Dr. R. Yates.
Thank u for ur post peter gray. You should always thank your teacher or teachers for teaching you in 1965 about Nelson Mandela, while most Americans never heard of him, not until they released him from prison or while watching this program when it first Broadcast 1990.
Google Graspmatyx and learn what you were not taught in school when it comes to learning how to overcome the apprehension, intimidation or fear learning mathematics. Or e-mail: doctor.yates@yahoo.com
And lool what happened with yugoslavia
*look
So you come from silver uion and your teacher teach about Mandela south Africa about right. He ha 🤣 😆 😂 😄.
Do you really want to know how meney silviet uion people live in south Africa today and bring there communist to south Africa.yep.
Yugoslavia was destroyed by CIA after fall of Berlin wall ....in Period from 1980-1990 Yugoslavs lived better than people in USA ...
It is clear that all you know about YU is from CNN lol
I strongly agreed with late Mandela. No wonder he is a renowned leader in the African continent. How I wish we have more of him or very few of him in Nigeria
53:08 - he laughs as if to say, "what a silly notion", then realizes that the silliness is in itself extremely toxic and proceeds to educate us with solemnity. 💙
He was one of the great man who has ever walked this earth! May Allah grant him paradise.
With the death of Nelson Mandela, the world has lost one of its great moral leaders and statesmen. Mr. Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years by the former Government of South Africa, for his part in the struggle that would ultimately end the system of apartheid. Despite his long years of captivity, Mr. Mandela left prison with a heart closed to calls for a settling of scores. Instead, he was filled by a longing for truth and reconciliation, and for an understanding between all peoples. He demonstrated that the only path forward for the nation was to reject the appeal of bitterness. His forbearance was legendary: his magnanimity spared all South Africans incalculable suffering. Nelson Mandela's enduring legacy for his country, and the world, is the example he set through his own 'long walk to freedom.' With grace and humility, he modelled how peoples can transform their own times and in doing so, their own lives.
What a great man he is he shows to smile in other to receive annoying questions and to give simple intelligence answers RIP MY BLOOD
Me during family fights: I refuse to be drawn into your internal affairs 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
😂😂
Where have all the great men gone..
The best interview of a great leader .. as of this date, not yet surpass
They imprisoned Nelson thinking it's a punishment but he turned jail to be his library. This is the whom i admire the most. May his soul rest in peace
"I SHOULD KNOW BETTER..." AND HOW MUCH SO!!! HE KNOWS...OUR BELOVED DR MANDELA
S.A. is NOW the CAPITOL OF THE WORLD...... for RAPE...AND.... MURDER. It's socialist regime has made the country worse then it ever was. His 2nd wife ENJOYED ....."NECKLACING"..... and actually did this to a 14yr old boy. she was known to have done this REPEATEDLY. IT MEANS...... WRAP....BARBED WIRE AROUND THE PERSON'S ENTIRE BODY.......PUT A TIRE OVER HIM...... FILL THE TIRE WITH GASOLINE...... AND LIGHT IT.. The FACE MELT'S down the SKULL.... the EYEBALLS "POP", from the heat. the victim scream's in agony the entire time..... THIS IS WHAT TYPE OF PERSON MANDELA MARRIED. JUST because he has a good SMILE doesn't make him a good person.
@@1cmnsents but he can't be held responsible for her actions, so your point is....?
A great leader so clear in his thinking, always stood firm on his principles and beliefs. We in India hold him in very high esteem. He like Gandhi is a legend that are immortals of history.
Wisdom never gets old indeed!!!!!
Brilliant,born leader,one in million years,RIP Tata, you are obviously amongst angels
Dear President Mandela great fighter of freedom and lover of all humanity.....We ALL miss you dearly. May we all work each day to live up to the standard you set.
Loved the part were he spoke about Palestine 🇵🇸 & it’s land & right
So proud of my black president. Long live Mthembu! Mvelase!
His not Mvelase
I really liked Mr Madiba's attitude when responding to the questions that were flooded to him by all those who stood up to ask , but instead he gave all answers relevantly, well thought and as quick as lightning, one would not deny his intelligence coupled with Heavenly wisdom, long live Nelson, you were indeed a Hero, Mentor, a first class leader in the whole world. I wonder how things would be like if you were still alive inyour own country SA and your neighborhood countries, we lack such witty leaders!!
says a man who changes his principles depending on who hes talking to is not fit to lead the nation...we have had great leaders. madiba takes the prize. respect🎓
Most inspiring talk so far. What a great statesmanship, hardly have I seen any African leader emulating such a control, wit and rational. I'm in owe and discussed by how many African leaders across the continent of sound like clowns and Buffon when compare to such a high standard. Thanks for posting this.

1cmnsents Yes, Mandela ordered the rapes and murder, and necklacing and of course his then wife's actions (who he divorced by the way before he became president, but dont let me bore you with facts).. Mandela has done more for South Africa in his left toenail than you could aspire to...seems you dont understand South Africa or you are only concerned about South Africa to the extent that your own livelihood is challenged
+Hugues-Bernard Saulnerond what european leaders demonstrate the control, wit, and rational being of Mandela?? Mandela'a statesmanship was rare regardless of where they are from. I think most of them sound like buffoons and clowns...
9 years later and African leaders are emerging at an astonishing rate. If you still are observing, bet you're celebrating as are many around the world.
Madiba's response to inKosi Buthelezi was GOLD. Full of character
We miss you Tata Mandela❤🙏🙏💫💫
The path to peace as advocated for by former President Mandela.... May it provide lessons to the world
May his precious soules rest in eternal peace ..father of the continent...Man of his words
Palestine loves this great man who not only stood up for injustice is South Africa but also those suffering around the world! The peoples leader RIP!
Bullshit. Mandela was a Communist.
He murdered anyone that disagreed with him.
Cutting of the noses of the females and/or burning them alive, Necklacing.
“Communists everywhere fight to destroy capitalist society and to replace it with Socialism, where the masses of the common people, irrespective of race or colour, will live in complete equality, freedom and happiness. They seek to revolutionise society and are thus called revolutionaries. Those who support capitalism with its class divisions and other evils and who oppose our just struggles to end oppression are called counter revolutionaries.” ~ Nelson Mandela

You are an ignorant fool
AnotherBoringWeek Aside from the nonsense about Mendela murdering everyone who disagreed with him. Who? When? Where?
So he was a communist, big deal. He certainly didn't implement communist policies in S. Africa when he became president. He cut a deal with the capitalist class in S. Africa which ended legal apartheid and implemented neo-liberal economic policies. Now just at S. Africa today and see the results of the economic policies the capitalist class demanded, it's worse than 30 years ago for a large part of the population.
“During the Rivonia trial, it had emerged that he advocated cutting off the noses of blacks viewed as traitors or white collaborators. His wife Winnie-whom he divorced in 1996-had during the 1980s advocated that turncoats be punished by “necklacing”-execution by placing a gasoline-filled tire around the victim’s neck and setting it alight. She was later convicted of participating in the stabbing of a young black activist who was suspected of being a police informer.”

Got any facts to go with your bullshit?
AnotherBoringWeek I didn't deny mandela was involved in terrorist activities, anyone with any knowledge of apartheid would know this.
But because a white supremacist kangaroo court tells us he advocated cutting off peoples noses for dissenting isn't great evidence it's true now is it?
But what's your larger point here? Mandela was a soldier in a struggle against a brutal regime who commited terrorist acts in response to brutal terrorist oppression, like millions before him and after him all over the world.
Barry B. S.A. is NOW the CAPITOL OF THE WORLD...... for RAPE...AND.... MURDER. It's socialist regime has made the country worse then it ever was. His 2nd wife ENJOYED ....."NECKLACING"..... and actually did this to a 14yr old boy. she was known to have done this REPEATEDLY. IT MEANS......

JUST because he has a good SMILE doesn't make him a good person.
I hope that all parents will strive to raise little mandelas today so that future generations will experience what we have in this man. I wish he could've been the leader of south Africa forever
It’s amazing how quickly he could think on his feet.
He had a lot of time to think things over when he was unjustly jailed.
He was a lawyer........
@Nathan Marais if that is true then he should have bee given a harsher punishment
@NXM
So youre saying terrorism is always wrong?
I think you need to re-evaluate your understanding of history and what you champion and benefit.
Find me 10 famous political people you admire who weren't able to be classified as terrorists.
You do understand what terrorism is right?
...We do not care whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice!
defenetly
To quote the late Deng Zhao Ping. Mandela wisely adopted the model of greatest growth.
❤Awusemhle
They want him to think like a USA-er and be a good little native - but he was having none of it!
Mandela was a savage ahead of his time
"How beautiful are precise words spoken at the right time"
No elected leader even close to creating this level of emotional resonance in his people and beyond
A very word Madiba said,is full of wisdom.He exercised the sense of brilliance.
“I don’t know if I have paralysed you” - that was a kill shot.
When I was a little boy Nelson Mandela was my mentor after learning his stand as a leader.
Madiba is the BEST. Imagine One GrandFather for the entire world, obviously talking about togetherness and equality to everyone. Listen to the rain (reign) of blissful cheering for N E L S O N M A N D E L A.
Mr Mandela standing up to clap for Boreng's point was GOLD.
great great man. This world is lacking this kind of leadership
A king speaking among lesser men.
❤
Great man, we miss u madiba.
A frank and confident approach to questions by president Nelson Mandela. He remains one of the key political and revolutionary icons Africa has known.
Love & Respect from Bangladesh 🇵🇸🇧🇩💞🇿🇦🫡
To get NELSON Stand and clap for you, man this is unique 😊
This is the greatest interview that was ever to be documented.
One should not make such a proclamation lightly. However, with this statement I agree 100%
Mandela is famous all over the world. Even in Poland where 99.9999% of population is white. Amazing leader and a real hero
2020 still watching
Father of Africa Nelson Mandela i miss you but you are still in my heart and my mind
He is affectionately called Tata (his mother tongue Xhosa meaning father) Tata Madiba
I was in Harlem that day, it was history in the making when Nelson Mandela came to NY
What a unique human being he was rip
Class in every sentence.
2021 and still the same issues... where are the men like Mandela though??
It makes me happy to see this allover again !
Me too.
Yes
Google has PURPOSELY CUT OFF THE MOST RESOUNDING QUOTE.. l saw the full townhall video last week.. and now it cannot be found. lnstead only clips of Everything else.
This was deliberate.
The statement about Africa freedom and Palestines os OMITTED in ALL the videos now.
They dont want this to align people with the Palestinians.
49:48 you're absolutely correct. They want people to see this rather than watch the uncut. And what about the paralysis. 🤔
😂😂😂😂
Gostei, Nelson Mandela é para mim Lider, Presidente, com uma história e personalidade impar. Uma Biblioteca da luta pela liberdade.
Nelson mandela era de otra dimensión
Dios bendiga nelson mandela
"Born leader" Viva Mandela
amazing one of a kind madiba is a phenomenon
We need such a person who parlayed those slackers oftodax
The greatest statesman Mandela. His words for liberation of palestine will come true. Justice is the seed, Peace the flower.
what A great Man and Truthfull
HE LIED THROUGH HIS SMILING TEETH.......S.A. is NOW the CAPITOL OF THE WORLD...... for RAPE...AND.... MURDER. It's socialist regime has made the country worse then it ever was. His 2nd wife ENJOYED ....."NECKLACING"..... and actually did this to a 14yr old boy. she was known to have done this REPEATEDLY. IT MEANS......

An Honorable Leader. Praying for a time when Will have many Leaders across the globe with such character and intelligence
Paul Gates Banda z
americans say nelson mandela has a relationship with Gaddafi and others who are bad why?well why does america have relationships with Saudi Arabia and the uae for example and I can name many others,if you can answer why america has such good relations with these countries you will know why mandela has good relations with those countries.(ofcourse it's not just america it's all first world countries).
Is there a full version of the interview? Mandela was a giant!
Very Candid and courageous. This is what i admired about Madiba!!
