Nelson said that during his lifetime he had dedicated himself to that struggle of the African people. He had fought against white domination and also against black domination. He said he had cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all people lived together in harmony and with equal opportunities. He also said that it was an ideal which he hoped to live for and to achieve but, if needed be, it was an ideal for which he was prepared to die.
