Couldn't agree more.  He was also well aware of the need to avoid
violence at all costs and, hence, Umkonto we Sizwe targetted
infrastructure _only_ when it was absolutely certain that no humans
would be hurt.  They were willing to escalate to violence, but only
when all other means had been exhausted.

That's what MK did in 1961. But MK also killed collaborators (eg police,
'councillors') etc.

Anyway, enough already.
