Newscaster: Mr. Mandela, the man who has been in prison for nearly three decades, will be appearing in public for the first time any moment now... There is Mr. Mandela, Mr. Nelson Mandela, a free man, taking his first steps into a new South-Africa...
James Gregory: [in front of TV, reading from the 'Freedom Charter'] "There shall be peace and friendship. And all who love their people and their country shall say, as we say here: These freedoms we will fight for, side by side, throughout our lives, until we have won our liberty."
Newscaster: That is the man the world has been waiting to see, walking strongly, step by step further into freedom.
