MANENO YA MWISHO YA TUNDU LISU, leo:
“Waheshimiwa Majaji miaka 60 iliyopita, kuna mhaini mwingine alifungwa kifungo cha maisha nchini Afrika Kusini, kabla hajahukumiwa alisema maneno yafuatayo ambayo naomba kuyafanya yawe maneno yangu leo, "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against blood domination, and my Lords, it is an ideal I am prepared to die for"
Nimepigania haki na demokrasia kwa sehemu kubwa, kuwa na nchi ya demokrasia, imekuwa ni ideal kwa nchi yangu, msimamo huo umenigharimu sana, umeniletea madhira mengi sana, msimamo huo kwa siku zilizobaki kwa maisha yangu ni msimamo ambao nitaendelea kuusimamia, na kama ikibidi kufa ni msimamo ambao nipo tayari kufa.
Namalziia kwa neno moja:
waheshimiwa majaji, kosa la uhaini halina kosa dogo, halina kosa ambalo ukishindwa kuthibitisha uhaini unahukumu kwa kosa dogo, it is either death sentence or acquittal, hakuna kakosa kadogo kwenye uhaini, waheshimiwa majaji, mzigo ambao mmekabidhiwa mabegani mwenu ni
kuamua kama kwa ushahdii huu kuna uhaini, kama mkiona kuna uhaini you should not hesitate to convict and punish me appropriately, do not hesitate, msiogope, kama mtaona kuna uhaini msiogope kunihukumu, kama mkiona hamna uhaini
msiogope kuniachia huru.
You have God before you, msije mkaletewa maneno kuna kosa dogo, hakuna kosa dogo kwenye uhaini, if the evidence doesn't fit— acquit, huo ni mzigo ambao ni wa kwenu peke yenu waheshimiwa majaji. Nimemaliza”
