Nelson Mandela is not a saint, despite the efforts of his assorted minders, gatekeepers and hangerson to regulate public access to him and polish his marble.
His autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, makes it clear that he can be unreasonably stubborn (a quality he traces to his father) and imperious and that he is capable of towering rages when he believes his dignity and authority have been crossed.
