The Big Read: Mandela was no sellout

Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema was struck by inspiration during his British tour last weekend and promptly revealed to the world that the late former president Nelson Mandela sold us all down the river during the democracy negotiations of the 1990s. Malema, as usual, got the headlines and the adulation of a fringe group of student activists who think they are the first people in South Africa to read Steve Biko's I Write What I Like.
