you can't see any similarity with Mandela??? It would take a special kind of a lack of imagination to see no similarity at all --------

well done to wackadoodledoodom for being unimaginative

Nelson Mandela was a political activist who admitted to acts of sabotage as part of his struggle against the apartheid regime in South Africa. Mandela and his co-accused admitted to sabotage during the Rivonia Trial but denied planning guerrilla warfare against the government. They used the trial to highlight their political cause, with Mandela delivering his famous "I Am Prepared to Die" speech, which justified their actions as part of the fight for justice and equality[2].
Mandela was initially arrested in 1962 for incitement and illegally leaving the country. Later, during the Rivonia Trial, he was charged with sabotage and other related activities linked to the African National Congress's (ANC) armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), which he co-founded. Mandela justified the resort to violence as a necessary response to the oppressive apartheid system[4].
While Mandela admitted to certain acts of sabotage, these were framed within the context of a broader struggle for liberation rather than common criminality. His actions were aimed at dismantling the apartheid system, and he later became a global symbol of peace and reconciliation[1][4].

There is only one similarity.

They both spent time in the slot.

After that nothing, but do carry on.
