Barbados Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley said she is hurt that former South African president Nelson Mandela is labelled a sellout by some people.20th Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture“It hurt me to hear that they are some who believe that Madiba did not do enough, and perhaps worse, for a few that he might have been a sellout – all because what they believe, justifiably so, should be theirs today, is not yet theirs,” said Mottley.
“If there’s any one single truth, it is that each of us runs our leg of the relay, the baton is all that they can be required of us to carry.”Mottley said part of the reason some South Africans are disappointed by Mandela is because of the poor economic growth in the country. “Those who expect more of Madiba, expect more because their own personal financial and economic circumstances have not moved with a pace that they may otherwise have accepted it or expected it. And it is for that reason that I believe that if ever there was a moment in time for the Global South to rally behind a cause, it is now.”
