[00:00.34]Unit 5 Nelson Mandela —a modern hero
[00:05.76]Reading
[00:08.82]ELMS' STORY
[00:10.69]My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa.
[00:16.37]The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life.
[00:23.93]I was twelve years old.
[00:25.92]It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice.
[00:33.79]He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems.
[00:39.74]He was generous with his time,for which I was grateful.
[00:43.92]I needed his help because I had very little education.
[00:48.10]I began school at six.
[00:50.79]The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometres away.
[00:56.03]I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare.
[01:02.21]I could not read or write well.
[01:07.58]AFter trying hard,I got a job in a gold mine.
[01:10.00]However,this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg.
[01:15.87]Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there,
[01:20.93]and I worried about whether I would become out of work.
[01:24.30]The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest.
[01:29.29]He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg .
[01:34.84]I became more hopeful about my future.
[01:38.21]I never forgot how kind Mandela was.
[01:42.14]When he organized the ANC Youth League ,
[01:46.39]I joined it as soon as I could.He said:
[01:50.23]"The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress,
[01:57.09]until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all."
[02:03.95]It was the truth.
[02:06.58]Black people could not vote or choose their leaders.
[02:10.38]They could not get the jobs they wanted .
[02:13.56]The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people.
[02:18.90]The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa.
[02:25.71]No one could grow food there.
[02:28.88]In fact as Nelson Mandela said:
[02:32.24]"... we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important,
[02:38.66]or fight the government.We chose to attack the laws.
[02:42.97]We first broke the law in a way which ws peaceful;
[02:47.65]when this was not allowed... only the did we decide to answer violence with violence."
[02:56.02]As a matter of fact, I do not like violence ...but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings .
[03:05.75]It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison.
[03:12.36]But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.
