"We cannot blame other people for our troubles.……" — Nelson Mandela

"We cannot blame other people for our troubles. We are not victims of the influx of foreign people into South Africa. We must remember that it was mainly due to the aggressive and hostile policies of the apartheid regime that the economic development of our neighbours was undermined."

— Nelson Mandela
