Did Nelson Mandela kill someone?
BACKGROUND: Mandela was arrested and at the Rivonia Trial, Mandela and others were charged by the chief prosecutor Dr. Percy Yutar, the deputy attorney-general of the Transvaal, with the capital crimes of sabotage (which Mandela admitted) and crimes which were equivalent to treason, but easier for the government to prove. The second charge accused the defendants of plotting a foreign invasion of South Africa, which Mandela denied. In his statement from the dock at the opening of the defence case in the trial on 20 April 1964 at Pretoria Supreme Court, Mandela laid out the clarity of reasoning in the ANC's choice to use violence as a tactic. COMMENT: He was the leader of the organization who made and planted bombs etc. but Mandela probably did not kill someone directly.
