Question
Why did Mandela think that the oppressed and the oppressor are equally robbed of their humanity?
Solution
Mandela said that a man who takes away another man’s freedom is a prisoner of hatred because he himself is a victim of prejudice and narrowmindedness. He justified it by saying thought a man is not free if his freedom is taken away from him. Likewise, if he is taking away someone else’s freedom, he is not truly free.
