17、我到那里时，纳尔逊曼德拉也在那儿，他又帮助了我。曼德拉先生为我们那些几乎没有上过学的人开办学校。他用午餐后的休息时间以及晚上本来该睡觉的时间教我们学习。我们躲在毯子下面读书，我们用可以找到的任何东西作蜡烛来看书。我成了一名好学生，想要为我的学位而学习，但是别人不允许我这样做。后来，曼德拉先生让狱卒和我们一起学习。他说他们不应该被剥夺通过学习获得学位的权利。他们并不比我更聪明，却通过了考试。因此我就知道我也能够拿到学位。这让我觉得自己还不错。在监狱里呆完四年之后，我去找工作。因为我受过比较好的教育，我得到了一份坐办公室的工作。可是警察局发现了，告诉了我的老板，说我因为炸政府大楼而坐过牢。于是我失业了。在曼德拉和非国大于1994年掌权之前，我有20年没有工作。在此期间，我的妻儿只得从亲戚朋友处讨饭吃，并乞求帮助。幸亏曼德拉先生还记得我，给了我一份工作，叫我带着旅行团去参观罗本岛上我住过的那座旧监狱。第一次给旅行团作讲解时，我的心情很不好。我回忆起那时所有的恐怖和令人畏惧的情景。我记起了狱卒的鞕打和暴行，我想到了我那些死去的朋友。我觉得我做不了这样的(导游的)工作，但是我的家人却鼓励我。他们说，从南非新政府得到的这份工作和薪饷，是我毕生为争取黑人的平等权利而斗争所得到的回报。现在，我能给参观者介绍有关监狱的情况，对此我感到非常骄傲，因为我曾经为黑人在自己的国土上争取自由而出过力。
