My name is Nelson Mandela.
I'm the first accused.
I do not deny that I planned sabotage.
I did not plan it
in a spirit of recklessness
nor because I have any love for violence.
The hard facts are that 50 years of non-violence
had brought the African people nothing
but more and more repressive legislation
and fewer and fewer rights.
Africans want a just share in the whole of South Africa.
We want equal political rights, one man, one vote.
I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people.
I have fought against white domination.
I have fought against black domination.
I have cherished the ideal of a free, democratic society
where all persons live together in harmony with equal opportunities.
It is an ideal which I hope to live for and achieve,
but, if needs be, it is an ideal for which
I am prepared to die.
