Since this isn't live, we really don't know how long Ted's pause lasted. It could have been edited to shorten the duration. The look on his face is priceless however and Mandela's smile shows a great sense of satisfaction.
When you watch this... There is a real sense of history being made. Yes they could've edited it, yes they could've shown the real response. But, I was so young when I saw this and now as an adult watching it, I think... Ted Coppel was probably admiring the answer. He's a newsman used to getting talking point answers. Then Mandela comes in and calls him out. This video is an education is journalism. Are you a journalist or a " talking head"? Can you imagine what he saw in that jail for nearly 30 years of his life? Ted tries to redeem himself, but I truly believe he was looking at someone that made him change. You know it happens to all of us. People say we don't change. We're always changing and learning. The media just doesn't want you to know that. When you meet people in your life that make you think... Don't you always remember them?
I think it was mostly the result of a misunderstanding. Mandela's argument was on a trajectory that to his mind had been completed but this was not externally evident to Koppel. I can understand Koppel waiting for Mandela's continued argument and then suddenly finding himself accused of being paralyzed. The greatness lies in the moment when Mandela, believing he has skewered his opponent, reaches out and shakes Koppel's hand, re-leveling the playing field.
I also think Koppel was expecting him to continue talking, but at the same time he knew Mandela was making a valid point with exposing the double standard so he was confused...Mandela's sharp mind and authentic personality exposed very much any pretence that night...i don't know if these people underestimated his intelligence but i'm guessing afterwards some of them wished they hadn't asked anything. I know i'd never underestimate a man who went through so much in his life fighting for the principles he believed in. Obviously he was going to be sharp on these topics, what else could they expect? he had given these issues more thought and consideration then other people.
Kopel line of questioning got into Mandela's nerves. Mandela had to clarify and demanded that Kopel be consistent in his line of questioning. Behind that smile, Mandela was agitated.
Ryan Edwards how many black people were killed during the course of Apartheid as compared to the single Durban bombing. Mandela's were not going to step back and watch their people murdered on day to day basis by your racist and evil regime...and you are one of those evil Satans.
Ndoda Makayi soon they will starve to death with this famine they're inducing on themselves...racist-communists. you have no idea how many more people have been murdered since these radicals took over.
Hugh Jass Mandela is way past the thug life level. He stood up to racist guards in prisons while shacked with no one to defend him. No thug could ever do it. Mandela was the real deal.
i agree with what mandela was trying to say but i must say interviews and debates in front of crowds can be almost useless because the crowd changes the dynamic--this was always my problem with shows like the daily show and bill maher. a person can lose his confidence and completely fold because of that and another person can appear genius and exalted for the same reason. the points that get the most applause seem the most accurate and many of those watching cannot judge them objectively.
Kim Bheazley impressionable i think would be a better word than stupid. that's a lot of people, especially younger people and people who aren't interested in things like political/social philosophy... cheering gives more weight to the opinion
well stated. I would state tho that in this case it was fluid and both sides seem balanced in this short segment of the whole as is evident in the courteous handshake towards the end
I watch this whole interview all of Mandelas answer was so powerful and straight to the issue and was so clear to his stand a traights of a true leader Respect to Mr.Mandela a true leader one of a kind human being ❤
That handshake towards the end regardless of real or fake intents speaks volumes to how civic, private, and public discourse has changed over the years. Such a rare quality today, Courtesy in times of conflict and chaos
That handshake at the end, the reaching out as it were to an apparently vanquished foe to re-level the playing field, is what so impressed me and why I posted the video. Yes, we need more of such in today's world.
Ted Koppel was a corporate media tool and I do not miss him on news. Really glad to live in the internet age where I don't have to rely on Koppel and corporate news to get information
The sad part about this for Ted is that he was basically used as the whipping boy for all the questions designed to try to undermine and intimidate Nelson. Obviously one can see that he failed miserably.
Nelson knew he was going to sit with the racist people and Koppel didn't know dealing with people like himself is what Nelson is been doing his whole life. watching this in 2020 and after 30 years the burn is still there.
Ted Koppel had to cut to a break so that some of his handlers could come up with a response LOL. I was never a supporter of the ANC or Nelson Mandela but I have to hand it to him he did paralyze Ted Koppel.
I'm not sure where you're from, but I can assure you, here in SA, he would be saddened with the current state of affairs. One political storm after the other...one corrupt politician after the other with the greatest of them all...Jacob fucking Zuma...
Simple & clear libya ,& cuba, helped south Africa when he was in prison he has no issue to get involved in foreign states internal matters. They need to fix community problems for there countries just like south Africa has done & stop being racist to each other to built better countries for better world.
A voice. A hero. A legend. We need more. We are dying. But as legendary as this was. They did what they were planning. They killed millions. And koppel smiled while the ear monger was in his ear
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess prison is the best factory for freestylers and rappers. They guy can murder you in three lines. I can't imagine a debate between him and Mr D.J Trumpoline!! Someone must choke.(Kinda 8 mile)
I am Afrikan and I love my brother Mandela. but I think that if you watch and listen to the entire interview, you find some contradictions. in this clip he refused to be drawn in the internal affairs of other nations but then in another clip he was asked on the question of human rights and relationship with Ghadaffi of Libya, fidel Castro of Cuba and Yesa Alffat, and he responded that his relationship to the above leaders solely depended on their stand against apartheid and their involvement in struggle in formal of providing resources. Here is the contradiction, so it was OK that others involved in his internal affairs but it is wrong for him to get involved in people's internal affairs?
Galabuzi MUWABUZI well who brought apartheid to s.a. who took the land? call it what you want? but not contradiction the USA europe was bullying nations through imperialism all over the world to accept there own standards. I'm not going to make any statements about race but at the time nations are born instability is always going to be there along with insecurity and anyways if ghadaffi peace be upon him and all these nations supported him you need to see why at this period identity of a people was a big issue and that was taken away from african people along with african history. it's immature for one to say there's a contradiction based on human rights if you want a good example why don't you look what's happening to USA right now to their citizens now and before in time.
Galabuzi MUWABUZI I don't mean to insult or cause conflict with you but I wish to bring about understanding that though the leaders you have mentioned have 'records' they offered Mandela the kind of help that's not based on an economic deal but based on the struggle of getting it's people out of chaos and no other leaders offered that help.
I can see where you come from but Mandela was speaking for himself and knew where the question was going. The intention was to drive a wedge between him and his allies.
Rori Rory it's a a show of strength intelligence and wisdom he captured the audience attention because of how he answered plus politics is and always will be a difficult and dangerous game one thing I can say Mandela had was foresight.
Kent66Jones if all humans were all like you; the world would have been as wasteful as garbage-dump! Thank God people like you are here to just eat and live and not running the world like reasonable humans!
Koppel has stated many times that it was just a misunderstanding as to whose turn it was to speak. "I expect you to be consistent" and then looking away from Koppel. Mandela must take a bit of the blame for the misunderstanding.
I've always understood it to be a misunderstanding, too. The greatness lies in Mandela, having apparently skewered his opponent to the laughter of the crowd, accepts Kopel's response with a smile and a handshake, deliberately re-leveling the playing field.
Whats so funny? Mandela was doing the talking. Koppel was waiting and thinking. Not paralyzed. Just who was in the crowd doing all the clapping? Koppel cannot come out of this for various reasons. Remember, Mandela does not like the US, no matter what he says.
Then why did Koppel still not have a response? "My point was- uh...." -Koppel. Still paralyzed. Mandela is incredibly wise. I've got to read and listen to more of his works now. He isn't just a man of knowledge. Shrewd wisdom exudes from this great man. But Mandela's handshake showed such magnanimity, you can tell he won Koppel after that.
I think the "paralysis" was accidental and mostly a misunderstanding on Koppel's part that Mandela was still talking. The greatness of the moment lies in Mandela's response when, believing he had skewered Koppel, he reaches out to shake his hand and relevel the playing field.
He doesn't have to like the US,so fragile you have to be liked? He said he doesn't like people who have no principles .If you are not to complain that he doesn't interfere with USA internal affairs,don't complain that he doesn't interfere with Cuba's and Libya's I hate fragile USA....
Paralysis or not, ted koppel got served by an african man who spent 27 years in prison, deprived of information and learning materials, you can pay for school but you cant buy class - jay z
I remember watching this live. It is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV.

No edits there's it's straight forward😊

I was so impressed with Mandela in this interview....
great upload, wish we had more leaders like this great man
pity he planted a bomb and blew up a couple of people in Durban.

One of the unforgettable moments on TV.
YEAH HE WAS PARALYZED
1:08 fuckin intense
Tata we miss you
I don't know if i have paralyzed you... lmao
Said the lion after pouncing
what a powerfull man! youre legacy will go on sir
He sounds like thunder
Mandala suffered 27 years he doesn’t need to answer.
Every one gets humbled... and learns from it. well the smart people anyway.
The sad part about this for Ted is that he was basically used as the whipping boy for all the questions designed to try to undermine and intimidate Nelson. Obviously one can see that he failed miserably.
..damn it feels good to be a gangster...*enter sun glasses, chain and spliff* 🤣🤣🤣
that was spot on Mandela!
This was a real man!
Nelson Mandela taught us all how to wisely engage political disputes and how not to be drawn into fruitless and destructive conflicts are
dave chappelle is truly amazing, he looks and sounds exactly like him.
journalists want to be on top, the only mistake if they encounter someone beyond the mystery!
My great-great-great grandpa!!!!
Somebody needs to edit this with that ether beat 😂
Lol
Featuring Winnie Mandela as Remy Martin
drop that mike sir. Rest in peace

Uyanya wena slima sabelungu. Wtf are you saying. U think ur funny

NP
I know Mandela from his book Long Walk to Freedom 💕🌹
Koppel has nothing to say
real leadir Mr. Mandela, his legacy one of the best
African wisdom exists.
A smart guy, for sure. He would be well pleased with today's political developments in SA.
I'm not sure where you're from, but I can assure you, here in SA, he would be saddened with the current state of affairs.
One political storm after the other...one corrupt politician after the other with the greatest of them all...Jacob fucking Zuma...
As a beneficiary of apartheid you're not qualified to say what Mandela would be please or not pleased with. Your regime imprisoned him for 27years.
And YOUR regime is a joke.
LMFAO! I am not a South African, you idiot!
And you seems to be suffering from an inferiority complex...
Shem.
Boy ICJ needs to prosecute Mandela for committing war crimes on this dude 😂
an epic kick in the nuts
Owned! 😌😌😌😌😌
at 1:14 I wished if I was a black man attending that interview

This was lethal 🤣🤣🤣 his brain lost network
Crowd is fully involved in this lool. Like a boxing match

Well, it did get a tad sharp at times
Madiba was a boss..,
