SECTION B COMPREHENSION AND SUMMARY (30 MARKS)

Read the passage and then answer the questions that follow.

1 For years, the only image people had of Nelson Mandela was the famous picture of him at his
trial: young. Defiant and attractive; his hair parted in the middle as must have been the fashion at

3
the time. During Apartheid, it was a criminal offence to be seen with a picture of Mandela, so
those who had old photographs of him had to keep them well hidden.

2 When he was freed, the world was curious to discover what 27 years of jail had done to him.
We had built up an image, a whole mythology, based on that youthful photograph, on his
writings, and on the haunting voice that was heard on the old newsreels. But how would the man
compare with the myth? Was he still so attractive and defiant? Had he aged gracefully?

3 He emerged from incarceration into the public glare and to a position full with opportunities.
For the majority of black South Africans, expectations were so high that it would have been easy
for him to disappoint. He had become the property of the whole world. Everybody who had ever
worn a Free Mandela T-shirt or attended a Free Mandela concert felt he owed them. And then of
course, having gone to jail and left behind a beautiful young wife, he had come back to a woman
about whom everybody had an opinion. Half the world hated her and the other half passionately
adored her.

4 On first meeting the man, it was his physical presence that struck you. He was even taller than
he appeared in his photographs. He may have stooped with age but when he started to talk, he
became much younger. His eyes were alive and full of mischief. He might well have been the
oldest person in the African National Congress (ANC) hierarchy, but on some subjects, he had
he most radical of ideas, still the firebrand of those early images. For a long time, he was the
only one who spoke about HIV and AIDS and openly advocated the use of condoms by young
people. And with principal stubbornness, he refused to give up his loyalty to people like Fidel
Castro and Muammar Gaddafi because, as he explained, he could not turn his back on those who
had remained loyal to him.

5 Part of the same stubbornness was his crusade to get black South Africans to be more punctual.
He was usually among the first at his office. Often, he arrived at rallies before the majority of the
people had turned up; a reversal of the usual African scenario in which the crowds wait for hours
for the very important person (VIP). On a trip to Cape Town, a young man who was in his
security told me how, before going to bed, he had been warned that ―the old man would get up
at 05 00 hours for his daily run. As he emerged in the early hours of the morning, the bodyguard

4
was mortified to find Mandela already dressed in his track suit and waiting for the guards to
accompany him on his morning exercise.

6 ―It’s the prison routine,‖ I’ve heard it said, ―that makes him so meticulous about time
keeping I prefer to think it is part of his respect for all human beings-like his delightful tendency
to make short speeches.
