Black Madiba

International The liberator of the XX century Black Madiba By: Carlos Damian January 5, 2014 The in route to the freedom in South-Africa Mexico. - High bosses of State were there in Johannesburg, 91 in total the same as dozens of other “eminent people", among stars of the rock, supermodels, and the elite of the political South-African, all congregated around of Nelson Mandela in an memory act and that it has been described as a big farewell to an international statesman in recent years. But neither the plans better layouts, even at times so august, they work to the perfection. It happened this way in the Soweto State this Tuesday (12/10/13); third two parts of the prospective multitude that would fill the tiers didn't arrive, and who yes they were presented they booed to their scandalous way and reiterated to the president South-African Jacob Zuma, retarding the message that will be the medullar part of the ceremony. On the other hand they applauded to rage the one that finished being the central speech, that of the American president Barack Obama whose words overcame in elegance to those of all the other speakers, he had even this way to be made hear above the drowned sound system. The other winner of the day was the same public that refused to be allowed to intimidate for the calls from of the podium “to keep poise” and to cease your boo. At the same time it maintained the pressure under Zuma who has more than enough, they applauded the predecessor deposed by this, Thabo Mbeki. There was also a warm welcome to Frederick de Klerck, the white president that declared the official end of the apartheid. Then the multitude also showed her critical perspicacity toward political international, when applauding with frenzy to the president from The States and to throw him a great hiss when George W. Bush appeared in screen, up of the speakers. The attitude of the assistants avoided that the ceremony slipped toward the insipidity, like it usually happens in such circumstances. However, they were a lot less than the prospective ones. A lot of noise was made around the greatest of the ceremonies by Nelson Mandela's death. The same as the bosses of State, the government boasted in disclosing that among the concurrence there were 10 former governors, 86 bosses of delegations and “75 eminent people". It was expected that to the funeral one 95 thousand people attended, but in fact they attended a lot less than the prospective ones, since there was array after line of empty seats behind the enclosure dedicated to the distinguished visitors. It had repeated officials' warnings so that people didn't attend for reasons of security, however the cautions were applied with stupidity; in some entrance doors to the stadium of soccer of Soweto where the World´s Cup was played three years ago, it had its impact in the South-Africans attendance: in some doors they passed without being subjected to revision some. The public's farewell and their singular reactions This day the funeral one was flooded by the mother nature when raining without pause, it was a really humid day. Cyril Ramaphosa, the veteran leader of the African National Congress that directed the act declared: "It is this way as Mandela it he had wanted you discharged, in fact the gods welcome to one man". This was a polemic figure and it was still capable in the death of uniting to opposed, for brief instants. Barack Obama and Raul Castro were narrowed the hands, making to a side for a moment decades of confrontations for the American sanctions to the island. It has hardly been the second time that a president from United States greets from way to a socialist leader. 13 years Bill Clinton ago he made it with Fidel, Raul's brother, after an assembly of UN in New York, and in that occasion the White House first denied such a thing it had happened and then it accused Castro of having spread a social ambush for advertising reasons. For those that were in the sat down stadium tolerating the rain in the tribunes he was Madiba, the person that liberated them of the chains of the apartheid and it avoided that a country collapsed in a bloody racial war. For the foreigners that ascended to the podium it was, “the biggest liberator in the XX century", in the Obama’s words, and Raul Castro's speech, it was “a champion of the freedom and the equality" that “all its life“ fought for the oppressed ones. Among other present characters; Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and John Major, Englishmen that accompanied David Cameron in the trip. Bill and Hillary Clinton, François Hollande and their predecessor Nicolás Sarkozy, singer Bono, Naomi Campbell was also. But the star was Obama, and he was presented to the public as “son of the African floor", as well as he was known Mandela, he put to the foot stadium. Madiba continued insisting, in its channel of death, and it was heard resonate its words in the stadium: 'I am not a Saint', he said, 'unless for you a Saint is a sinner that follows making an achievement. To close the ceremony, archbishop Desmond Tutu demanded to cease the clamor and the occasional boos and he said that he would not give the final blessing until he could hear, “the fall of a pin". The noise ceased for instants after some distant laughs. "This is what Nelson had wanted", the clergyman said to the multitude. The revolution mediatic To all the attendees to the funeral act, the diplomatic protocol was deployed in all of them its splendor, surrounding absurd characters and mediocre of a protective mantel that makes them it sees as respected leaders. They exalt the central character as the eminent person of the freedom that it brings near them to the genuineness that they don't have in their country. But in an analysis of Nelson Mandela's legacy it allows us to see the reason that Madiba is exploited from all over the world by the governing classes. Mandela had the privilege of being a symbol of the fight against the racist and xenophobic régime of Pretoria during some decades. Although we have to recognize their limited reaches of the fight undertaken by this character and the party of the African National Congress (ANC). We remember when the Union of South-Africa settled down in 1910 the white minority they enjoyed all type of freedoms, Dutch and later it leaves of the British Kingdom, the black population was stopped of legislating inside the parliament's benches. For 1913 the inhabitants of black race were stopped of buying earth outside of the space dedicated to them. When lapsing the time, in 1923 it represented the apartheid with their mechanisms of racial segregation at domiciliary level. About 1948, the Unified National party won the elections with a surprise for the voters when including in its platform politician and economic mechanisms to dissolve the racial segregation. In this context the black population was not crossed of arms and the ANC, been founded in 1923, when staying active politically it looked for the racial emancipation and politics of the state that they had maintained with padlocks a strong economic discrimination, impeding an access to activities economic keys for the State and to the property of the earth. The régime of Pretoria continued with the apartheid system, enslaving to the manpower of inhabitants' thousands being confronted with the minimum requirements of freedom and it forces of work. Receiving from the community international demands of freedom, since when concluding the Second World War it had settled down as a totalitarian state. However the ANC had become a speaker of the white minority due to its social mobilizations with a lot of popular base of South-Africa. This situation of the international demand and the internal social movements, they gave place to a system of “a person, a vote", and they put limit to the apartheid régime. Already for the elections of 1994 it could have access Nelson Mandela together with the social Movement of the ANC, to the presidency of the Republic of South-Africa. Although in hands of the white minority it is the property of the earth, and the resources of the underground in being able to of the transnational ones. Mandela reached the glory but it could not put an end totally to the state of the régime of Pretoria. In South-Africa, the idea that the happiness, and best wishes of the civilization depends on the pyramid governed by a God, compassionate, terrible and excluding, it continues latent in that region of Africa.
