Nelson Mandela on Jews and Gaddafi

Nelson Mandela explains his position regarding Jews and the ANC “I also explained to Mr Sigmund and company that in our organisation we have Jews. In fact Mr Gaddafi did not allow us to open our offices in Libya precisely because we had the courage to say to him, we work with Jews in our organisation. And he didn’t allow us to open an office until February (1990) this year when he had to accept us as we are. We are not prepared to be swayed by anybody, we have an independent policy which we set no matter with whom we discuss.“ Excerpt from Ted Koppel Show, 1990
