Mandela would be considered a terrorist today if he came back. Apparently being anti apartheid is enough to get you arrested on terrorism charges in some countries. (UK)

No, Kruger was the President who fought against the British during the Anglo-Boer wars. And we Boers lost. But he did fight for independence from British rule.

Mandela fought for freedom for all in South Africa, when Apartheid was legally adopted in 1948, Mandela fought against the government of the time. Basically all people lost freedom, white people lost the least freedom (more minor inconveniences like cannot marry different colours or do business with other colours) and black people the most (where they live, what they can own, what they can do, almost everything needed the whites permission). So there were different tiers of people, (closest today that I can think of is India's caste system (but not nearly as similar or violent).

Mandela, with de Klerk pulled off a miracle, they ended Apartheid without a civil war. We had a bloodless (mostly) transition, adopted probably one of the best liberal constitutions in the world and became a constitutional democracy.

Mandela made everyone of us free in South Africa. Do we have issues, fuck yes. But we are working as a country together. Mostly the biggest issues now are systemic corruption on all levels of government, low growth and unemployment. But as I said as a nation we are improving and getting better. Not overnight, but we are heading in a better direction, especially without Zuma at the reigns anymore.

Wasn't Krueger be a president during the times when South Africa was struggling for freedom, mmm? Mandela is famous for anti-apartheid...

Beer.

I hope the bloke bought his rescuer a beer.

So he beerly survived!

Perfect timing. What was he drinking?

It's not The Onion when it's Straya. ☝🏼

Glad they found him before things got serious.

If he was dressed as Batman and acted like Batman, then he is more than a man in a Batman costume.

That they had to do this is bollocks.

It doesn't say if they carried her back.

Eh, it'll be mostly red, though.

Where I'm from, we call that "incentive".

Sure, why not? They made the triathletes swim in the polluted Seine, and made them all sick, why not let them navigate through the habitats of territorial crocodiles? Viewers will definitely tune in for that.

Too bad Steve Irwin isn't around to do the color commentary.

"Ok, 498, 499, 500! That's all ov em loaded, Bruce! River's clear for the games!"

Ominous music starts as the camera pans across the river to a shady bank. Violins shriek as a pair of crocodile eyes open and then we cut to black.

Don't look for pictures comparing glacier sizes in the 70s and 80s to today.

It makes me sad whenever I see how far some have receded.

Well it's been frozen anyway... Yum

The camera film is probably bad, right? It'd be cool if that somehow survived, but no one mentions it in the article so probably it's no go for whatever reason.

He quietly palmed the overdue library book from the prying eyes.

Melting glacier doesn't seem like great news...

Finding his lunch in there too?

What can be better than a 60 years old pair of socks in a bag?
