Which of the excerpts from the text below best support the idea that Mandela had a plan to use rugby as a way of uniting the country?
Mandela never made his purpose overt in that first meeting with Pienaar, but he did edge closer to the main theme when he switched the conversation to his memories of the Barcelona Olympic Games, which he had attended in 1992 and recalled with great enthusiasm.
For what Mandela had reckoned, in that half instinctive, half calculating way of his, was that the World Cup might prove helpful in the great challenge of national unification that still lay ahead.
The time had come, as Mandela explained to his guest, to abandon the old perception of the Springbok rugby team as “enemies” and see them as compatriots and friends.
I concentrated in our meeting on complimenting him for the role which he was playing and which he could play. And I briefed him on what I was doing about sports and why I was doing so. And I found him a highly intelligent person.
