At least he was elected president of a non-communist government and followed the constitution as it had been set up. Black people were obviously not ready when freed to assume the responsibilities of government and lives as productive, lawful citizens. How could they have been ? Literally every mechanism in society for decades had been designed to prepare them for lives as a laboring class. It was hardly the fault of Mandela.
