Yeah I guess the reason they're not considered terrorists is because the cause they thought was just. Your impression of them probably depends on if you agree that they didn't have any other choice or not and if their goals were worthy. Most people now can see how unjust and barbaric apartheid was and that it needed to be stopped. Although it's worth remembering that Mandela didn't target civilians, only the apartheid state.
