From [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandela,_Massachusett...
"Mandela was a proposed city that would be formed as a result of some districts seceding from Boston...including parts of Roxbury, Dorchester, and the South End....The name was inspired by Nelson and Winnie Mandela, popular South African anti-Apartheid activists. The proposal was defeated in 1986."

No Robin Hood - just a common thief
FRED BRIDGLAND IN JOHANNESBURG
HER lawyer said she was a latter-day Robin Hood who robbed the rich to give to the poor in South Africa’s townships. Yesterday, a court decided that Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was no such thing, and sentenced her to five years in jail for 68 convictions of fraud and theft.
