Why Was Nelson Mandela Sent To Jail ?
In the 1960s, after the infamous Sharpeville massacre and ban on ANC, the African State’s political environment was transformed completely. The increasing immoralities and illegalities inflicted by the state government encouraged Mandela to start armed struggles in the state. Nelson Mandela was finally sent to jail in 1962 by the state of Africa as the government feared that Mandela would interfere with its policies and incapacitate it by instigating civil disobedience and violence. |
Mandela was even declared to be a terrorist, who posed immense threat to the unity and peace of the state and deserved life imprisonment. However, the world knows it that Mandela, the great defender of freedom, was morally upright in fighting against the putrid African government. But unfortunately, Mandela’s ambition to revamp and free the ailing country from the clutches of the immoral military junta of African State led him into the prison.
His detention sent shock waves around the globe, inspiring people to raise their voice in support of his great mission. Consequently, there was an increasing pressure on African State government from numerous sectors across the world to release Mandela and this issue eventually became a global matter of moral, economical, social, and political importance. Thus, when Nelson Mandela was sent to jail for being a controversial, anti-government political figure, interference from people across the globe compelled the African state government to ultimately set him free in 1990. It was all due to the advancement in communication technology and the power of media that the news of Mandela’s imprisonment could spread across the globe like an uncontrollable wildfire, eventually leading to the liberty of a great leader.
