i dont believe we should hold him as the "great man" so many thinks he was,he was flawed,like all humans are.
By that standard there are no "great men", or women for that matter.
I think that his actions post apartheid are what really count.
Not unlike revolutionairies of any stripe. If you win and do good by your people you are a hero if you lose you are the goat. In racial terms he did very well as well politicaly, financially not so good. 2 out of 3 keeps him in high esteem.
