31、育。我六岁开始上学，我仅仅读了两年的那所学校有三公里远。我不得不辍学，因为我家无法继续支付学费和车费。我既读不好也写不好。几经周折，我才在一家金矿上找到一份工作。然而，那时必须有身份证才能住在约翰内斯堡。不幸的是我没有这个证件，因为我不是在那里出生的。我很担心自己会失业。纳尔逊曼德拉帮助我的那天是我最高兴的日子之一。他告诉我要想在约翰内斯堡立住脚，应当如何获取所需证件。我对自己的未来更加充满了希望。我永远忘不了曼德拉是多么和善。当他组织了非国大青年联盟时，我马上就参加了这个组织。他说：“过去30年来所出现的大量法律剥夺我们的权利，阻挡我们的进步，一直到今天，我们还处在几乎什么权利都没有的阶段。
32、”这是事实。黑人没有选举权，也无权选择自己的领导人。他们不能做自己想要做的工作。他们在城里不得不居住的地方是由白人决定的。他们被打发去城外居住的地方是南非最贫穷的地区。没有人能在那儿种庄稼。事实上，正如纳尔逊曼德拉所说的：“我们被置于这样一个境地：要么被迫接受低人一等的现实，要么跟政府作斗争。我们选择对抗法律。首先我们用和平的方式来打破法律，当这种方式得不到允许时只有到这个时候，我们才决定用暴力反抗暴力。”事实上，我并不喜欢暴力但是在1963年，我帮助他炸毁了一些政府大楼。那是很危险的，因为如果被抓住了，我可能要坐牢。但我乐于帮忙，因为我知道这将帮助我们实现使黑人和白人平等的梦想。词语积累la
