What did Nelson Mandela say about apartheid?

Mandela was jailed in apartheid-era South Africa because he was a member of the African National Congress. The ANC was a militant, anti-apartheid political party. Mandela was one of the leaders that helped end the apartheid era, and was voted as president by the South African parliament. F. W. de Klerk, the last apartheid era president, also helped end apartheid, and got to be Mandela's Deputy President as a reward.There is NOTHING available online concerning Mandela's presidency. The only information I've ever found was Mandela saying that he *may* have failed his country by ignoring the AIDS epidemic.Fun fact: South Africa has the world's highest AIDS-infected population, with 12% of all citizens being infected.Oh, and apartheid is the South African equivalent of segregation.Need anything more?
