[00:07.49]Reading liliis is story
[00:12.67]My name is a lias
[00:14.44]I'm a poor black worker in south africa
[00:18.50]The time
[00:19.01]When i first met nelson
[00:20.71]Mandela was a very difficult period of my life
[00:24.66]I was twelve years old
[00:25.71]It was in one hundred and fifty two
[00:29.46]And mandela was the black lawyer to whom i went for advice
[00:35.24]He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems
[00:40.15]He was generous with his time for which i was grateful
[00:44.61]I needed his help
[00:46.15]Because i had very little education
[00:49.07]I began school at six
[00:51.72]The school where i studied for only two years with three kilometres away
[00:57.35]I had to leave
[00:58.28]Because my family could not continue to pay the school fees on the bus fare
[01:03.92]I could not read or right well after trying hard
[01:08.60]I got a job in a gold mine
[01:10.93]However this was a time
[01:13.23]When one had got to have a passport to live in joannesberg sadly
[01:17.97]I did not have it
[01:19.35]Because i was not born there
[01:21.50]And i worried about whether i would become out of work
[01:25.65]The day when elson mandela a helped me was one of my happiest
[01:30.85]He told me how to get the correct paper
[01:33.50]So i could stay in joanna's berg
[01:36.14]I became more hopeful about my future
[01:39.90]I never forgot how kind mandela was when he organized the a nc youth league
[01:47.18]I joined it as soon as i could
[01:50.28]He said
[01:51.71]The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights in progress
[01:58.56]Until today we have reached a stage
[02:01.98]Where we have almost no rights at all
[02:05.12]It was the truth
[02:07.18]Black people could not vote or choose their leaders
[02:11.69]They could not get the jobs
[02:13.13]They wanted the parts of town in which they had to live
[02:17.47]Were decided by white people
[02:20.12]The places outside the towns
[02:22.52]Where they were sent to live where the poorest parts of south africa
[02:27.34]No one could grow food
[02:28.84]There in fact as nelson mandela said
[02:33.65]We were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important or fight the government
[02:41.52]We chose to attack the laws
[02:45.06]We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful
[02:49.04]When this was not allowed
[02:50.28]Only then did we decide to answer violence
[02:54.80]With violence as a matter of fact
[02:58.08]I don't like violence
[02:59.80]But in one hundred and sixty three
[03:03.75]I helped him blow up some government buildings
[03:07.43]It was very dangerous
[03:09.43]Because if i was caled ght could be put in prison
[03:12.68]But i was happhappy to help
[03:15.78]Because i knew it would help us
[03:17.54]Achieve our dream of making black and white people equal
