The first black president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, said the black race only remembers the bad side of the man and soon forgets the good deeds. Nelson Mandela said this when he was imprisoned as a chaplain.
When he became president, he saw why there have been multiple coups in Africa. Being so knowledgeable as he was, perhaps compelled him to go for only one term in office, which was unprecedented.
The African hero, Nelson Mandela, died shortly and left an unmarked hallmark in political history.
