Allow me to voice my opinion regarding a comment made by Julius Malema, which I heard on the radio earlier this week.

“Nelson Mandela did not own a bed when he was released from prison in 1990,” he said.

I am not a member of any political party but what Julius said is just not right. He should speak once he has knowledge, facts and understanding about what he wants to say.

He needs to bear in mind that he would not be where he is today, if it was not for Mr Mandela’s efforts. He benefited greatly from Mr Mandela’s sacrifices.

Our children, and I mean this younger generation, need to think and learn before they cast words that hurt us as the older generation.
We are the ones who suffered all those years of life and still suffering.
