Celebrating Madiba month: Fifty years ago, on 13 June 1964, Nelson Mandela arrived on Robben Island but it was not his first time on the island... He had verbal altercations with prison warders, one of whom almost assaulted him. He said... You dare touch me, I will take you to the highest court in this land and by the time Im finished with you, you will be as poor as a church mouse. And he stopped, Mandela: said later when recounting the story. I was frightened; it was not because I was courageous, but one had to put up a front and so he stopped. *Tshawe* #Molweeeni
