It wasn't terrorism, though. Terrorism is the targeting of civilian populations in order to cause an atmosphere of widespread fear and panic among those civilians. They didn't target civilians, nor was it their goal to instill fear in the widespread population. They didn't even start out killing anyone, and went out of their way not to kill.
It's not just intention, though. It's what they actually did. That's why Mandela was never charged with killing anyone. He didn't. That's also why that quote you pasted in about him pleading guilty to all those deaths in court was untrue. If they could have nailed him on charges related to killing people, they obviously would have, but they didn't even try.
Being linked is one thing, but saying that he was personally responsible and that he signed off on things the group was doing 20 years after he lost control over them is a bit ridiculous, isn't it? That's what those sites you were quoting from were trying to suggest.
Fair enough. The terrorist label appears to be unwarranted 
Sorry for the c00ning
