It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on
their legal problems . He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.
I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six . The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometres away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not
born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.
The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest . He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future.

have almost no rights at all.”

No one could grow food there. As a result, Mandela chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed ... only then did we decide to answer violence (暴力) with violence. As a matter of fact, I do not like violence …but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and
white people equal.
