[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did his marriage end in divorce?[/quote] Mandela was married 3 times, and has been divorced twice. I don't recall why he and Winnie divorced, but his first wife (before Winnie) mentions a lot of Mandela's infidelity as a primary source of conflict. There's a weird thing that happens to men championing for rights - they have a tremendous amount of wisdom and reserve in a lot of ways, but not in others. MLK and Gandhi are also well known for sleeping around and cheating on their partners. On the one hand, it points to their humanity (our "heroes" are just like us), but it's difficult for me to still reconcile. It's good to acknowledge their achievements, but also to remember that such icons were far from perfect or saints. [/quote]
