TS3 :Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - Mandela as a Lawyer

Mandela as a lawyer/ In the courtroom

A°What seems to be Mrs. De Kok’s attitude as Nelson Mandela first questions her on the witness stand?

• What would you say is her level of respect for Mr. Mandela?

• Why do you think she felt “so insulted” at the line of Mandela’s questioning?

B°More generally what seems to be the overall goals of the apartheid laws?

• What fundamental human rights were violated by these laws?

What is apartheid and what impact did it have on South Africans?(See Mandela's speech at his own trial in 1963)
