Necklacing

A favorite method of execution by Mandela's African National Congress where a tire soaked in gasoline would be placed around the body of victim and then set ablaze.

Necklacing sentences were carried out by "people's courts" against victims who were deemed to be white collaborators. Often times, the families of the one sentence were often sentenced to death by necklacing.

Winnie Mandela, wife of imprisoned Nelson Mandela, endorsed the practice. Nelson Mandela, fully aware of the practice, never spoke out against it.

Know the real Mandela.
