After I became president, I asked my escort to go to a restaurant for lunch. We sat down and each of us asked what we wanted.
On the front table, there was a man waiting to be served. When he was served, I said to one of my soldiers: go and ask that gentleman to join us. The soldier went and conveyed my invitation to him. The man got up, took his plate and sat down right next to me.
While he ate his hands trembled constantly and he did not lift his head from his food. When we finished, he said goodbye without looking at me, I shook his hand and he left.
The soldier told me:
Madiba that man must have been very ill, seeing as his hands didn't stop shaking while he ate.-
Absolutely no! the reason for his trembling is another.
Then I told him:
That man was the warden of the prison where I stayed. After he tortured me, I screamed and cried asking for some water and he came humiliated me, laughed at me and instead of giving me water, he urinated in my head.
He is not sick, he was afraid that I, now president of South Africa, would send him to prison and do to him what he did to me. But I'm not like that, this conduct is not part of my character, nor of my ethics.
′′Minds that seek revenge destroy states, while those that seek reconciliation build nations. Walking out the door to my freedom, I knew that if I didn't leave all the anger, hatred and resentment behind me, I would still be a prisoner."

So there were actually South African citizens who were deported for being in another country illegally?
So we can confirm that South Africans are actually illegals in Other countries?
Nice one. We will make it go viral. Thanks for sharing @ZANewsFlash

@elvismudzanani@Mustardexploits@_GhChronicles This is why many people say that Most Black SAns are educated illiterates. How will your MTN make more money if they are sacked all over Africa esp Nigeria? Do you know how much profit they make and bring it home to SA and pay tax so that you can get your grant?
@HermanMashaba This is the only man who uses foreigners to Campaign because he got nothing to offer and he knows it. He failed in the last elections and he intensified his antagonism against foreigners to get more vote. Never believe those who tell lies
@DadaMorero This is no victory for the City. Why? B/c your plan was to demolish it. The owners went to stop that from happening. Court granted it. Plans for those structures will be approved & foreigners will continue to rent it out. This is a great lesson for the City to follow the rule
@MorningLiveSABC@LeanneManas@SakinaKamwendo Some people are very bittered that they are legals. All those propaganda has failed. They are very angry that they have been exposed. There is still time to leave South Africa if you don't like foreigners.

@DadaMorero This structure was erected by some city officials. Each month, they are collecting rent from foreigners.
But everytime you report, you make it look like foreigners are erected it. You politicians manipulate the minds of black SAns to believe that foreigners are their problems
@LoveUmore007@Chibuleni Most Black SAns are educated illiterates. Do you know how many SAns are in Nigeria and in other African countries? Go & ask SAA how many SAns are being transported daily into Nigeria Ghana etc. Ask Home affairs how SAns are leaving daily and you will come back to apologise
@Chibuleni This reply is different from my response to you. If you have gone through my reply, you would not have responded like this. If you did go thru it and responded like this, it shows what everyone is saying that black SAns are educated illiterates. Go through it again & understand
@News24 In South Africa, anti-foreigner rhetoric has become such a powerful political tool that merely promising to remove foreigners is often treated as a qualification for leadership. Some politicians exploit public frustration by blaming foreigners to gain support and votes.
@Dominovito@PSiRALive Stop being manipulated by politicians to think the way they want you to think. Are those 7 South Africans cheap Labours also or you choose to be blind to that also. There is nothing like cheap labour. These are those who desire and work hard to keep a job. Not lazy ones
@DadaMorero Foreigners didn't erect structures. SAns did and rented it out to them. Every month, someone from the council office is collecting rent. You politicians can deceive people.
Again, each time there is a financial problem, do next day, foreigners will be used to divert attention
@MbhazimawaGaza@MbuyiseniNdlozi How do ordinary black person like you reason. You just don't realise that you have problems with your very self.
CIC is not in power. He is not in control of the country. Yet you chose to attack him. Then you are blind to those who are in power. It's a shame.
@sewelankoana Ask the Mayor @DadaMorero , why is it that you are using foreigners to chase cheap politics.
The gossip on the street is that the City of Joburg is broke and the next day, small streets is being demolished to divert attention.
Those structures were erected by SAns & rented out
@errolbsk Foreigners are not your problem baba. If you like, allow politicians to deceive you and you will be useless for life.
Foreigners didn't erect structures in SA. South Africans did and rented it out to them. Every month, someone from the council office is collecting rent.
