Gibson Makhanda has been involved in the Mandela conspiracy theory. The conspiracy theory suggests that the South Africa hero and most iconic political figure, Nelson Mandela supposedly died in prison and was replaced by a clone called Gibson Makhanda.

A particular group of people in South Africa believe in this theory for several reasons. They believe their hero was killed during a protest and the government replace him with a clone in other not to escalate things.

South Africans are now divided in their thoughts about the theory. The conspiracy theory has circulated the country for some years now but it has not gained any real evidence.

Here is everything you need to know about the Madiba conspiracy theory

Why some South Africans believe Nelson Mandela was fake

The Madiba conspiracy theory began when a certain group of people began speculating that Nelson Mandela had died several years ago in prison in the 1980s.

It is also believed that Gibson Makhanda was brought to negotiate the new era of South Africa and making it possible for anyone of any color to contest in a general election in the country.

The people now are divided about the opinion about the first democratic president. While some remember him as a hero of liberation, others refer to him as a ‘sellout’.

Most people who believe this theory claim that the military and paramilitary did not show any concern for human lives against the protesters that were against apartheid in the country. They added that several dangerous means were used to subdue the protesters.

There is another set of people that believe the Madiba conspiracy theory is true because after Mandela was freed, he divorced his wife immediately after his release from the prison in Robben Island.

They claimed his ex-wife, Winnie Mandela would have noticed he wasn’t the one and become suspicious so he divorced her as soon as he could.

Also, another reason the theory is believed is the celebration of sixty-seven minutes by South Africans on the 18th of June every year. They believe that the celebration is to pay homage and respect to the real Nelson Mandela who died at the age of 67.

The Mandela Effect

The Mandela effect is a phenomenon whereby many people don’t remember the events that surrounded the death of Nelson Mandela. This group of people tends to believe he died in the 80s, not in 2013. It was also said that the West trained Gibson Makhanda whom they used to replace Mandela.

Even after Mandela’s death in 2013, people believed it wasn’t his body that was buried there. They said the body was swapped with the real one that passed in 1985 and took the fake one which was Gibson Makhanda’s body to London.

How FaceApp aided this theory

After some years when it seems the theory about Gibson Makhanda, Mandela was forgotten, a Twitter user came up with the idea of using an application called Face App. The App could distort the faces of users and show them how and what they would look like in the nearest future.

In July 2019, the fresh allegation credited the Illuminati which is said to be an anti-Semitic conspiracy that comprises a group of people who run the world.

The image of a younger Mandela’s face was inputted in the FaceApp. The application supposedly revealed that the older version of nelson Mandela doesn’t actually look like him.

The Twitter user, @Jether_Calypso gave a lot of reasons in a series of tweets why he posted “the Mandela that we knew all along was a man named Gibson Makhanda, trained and cloned (by the Illuminati) to act as the real Mandela”.

The Twitter user kept sharing photos and posts on Twitter with the caption ‘It wasn’t him.

Nelson Mandela’s family reaction towards the Madiba conspiracy theory

Reacting to the Madiba conspiracy theory, the South African hero’s family released a statement stating that the conspiracy theory using Gibson Makhanda is a malicious theory.

His daughter, Zindi Mandela refuted this conspiracy theory. She was involved in a series of tweets that sounded funny to her and some of her family members.

It is important to note that Nelson Mandela is not the only public figure to be involved in such conspiracy theories. Others are Tupac Shakur and even Elvis Presley.
