this, you know, effort to dismantle apartheid. mandela got wind of it so the story goes, invited this man to his house, asked him he would like tea and he bought him tea. asked him if he wanted milk. he poured him milk. asked him if he want sugar and put the sugar in and stirred it. this is a man who was going to instigate civil war. already violence oversouth africa. streamists and whites. it was just a disaster. people say the fact the election went off at all in 94 was a miracle. mandela disarmed this man by having him over for tea. he left. no civil war, mr. mandela. we have spoken about how mandela learned the language of the oppressor and got into the mind of how africaners think and said with you may win the battle but not the war. look back at your history.
post presidential house was built as the same model. he got the architectural plans of the last house he stayed in when he was in prison, the warden s house and he got that rebuilt. so that gives you an idea of the kind of man and presidency that he had. [ speaking in foreign language ] we are talking about the world leaders who are here. it is an unprecedented collection of world leader and family members here now are taking the stage. these are the younger generation of the mandela family, the grandchildren. there they are. let s listen in. on behalf of the family, i would like to thank all of the heads of state who are here. thank you. madiba struck by lightning bolt in the dead of night.
