About This Quote
We were going to get Ahmed back. And Rahim back. And Shazad. And Delila.
And all the others who had been captured. We were going to end this. These words come from a poem by Nelson Mandela which he wrote about the kidnapping of his wife and children in 1960, and they capture the optimism of the South African people at that time.
A few months later, his son was also kidnapped and held for two years until his release in 1964. It was not the most pleasant of the six decades of apartheid, but it did help to bring about its end.
