    EARLY LIFE
    Nelson Mandela, born Rolihlahla Mandela on July 18, 1918, in the small village of
    Mvezo in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, had a significant early life that
    shaped his worldview and future activism.
    Family and Heritage: Mandela was born into the Thembu royal family, part of the
    larger Xhosa-speaking people. His father, Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa, was a
    local chief and councilor to the monarch, but he lost his position when Mandela
    was still young, due to a dispute with colonial authorities. His mother, Nosekeni
    Fanny . When his father died, Mandela was only nine years old. He was then sent
    to live with the regent, Chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo, who took responsibility for
    Mandela's education and upbringing. This experience exposed him to leadership,
    politics, and the customs of African royalty.
    Education: Mandela's education began in local missionary schools, which was rare for
    many black children at the time. He attended the prestigious Clarkebury Boarding
    Institute and later the Healdtown Wesleyan College, where he excelled in both
    academics and sports. In 1939, he enrolled at the University of Fort Hare, the only
    institution of higher education for black people in South Africa at the time. However,
    he was expelled after joining a student protest.
    Mandela moved to Johannesburg, where he worked in various jobs, including as
    a night watchman and clerk in a law firm. This period exposed him to the harsh
    realities of apartheid and spurred his political awakening. While in
    Johannesburg, Mandela met key figures in the African National Congress (ANC),
    including Walter Sisulu, who became his mentor. He joined the ANC in 1944 and
    co-founded its Youth League, which aimed to bring more radical and militant
    activism to the organization. His early involvement in politics and the ANC laid
    the foundation for his lifelong struggle against apartheid.
    STRUGGLE FOR APARTHEID
    Nelson Mandela's struggle against apartheid was a
    lifelong journey marked by immense sacrifice and
    resilience. In 1943, Mandela joined the African National
    Congress (ANC) to fight against the institutionalized
    racial discrimination known as apartheid. Initially
    advocating nonviolent protest, Mandela co-founded the
    ANC Youth League . However, after the brutal
    Sharpeville Massacre in 1960, where police killed
    peaceful protesters, Mandela shifted to armed
    resistance . Mandela spent 27 years in prison, becoming
    a global symbol of resistance against apartheid. His
    efforts culminated in the country’s first multiracial
    elections in 1994, where he was elected South Africa’s
    first black president.
    SHAPING OF NEWLY FOUND
    SOUTH AFRICA
    After Nelson Mandela became president in
    1994, he focused on national reconciliation,
    dismantling apartheid's legacy, and fostering
    economic growth. His administration
    emphasized human rights, education, and
    healthcare improvements while navigating
    challenges like poverty and inequality.
    Mandela's leadership symbolized hope and
    unity for South Africa, promoting peace and
    democracy in a previously divided nation.

    successes, judge me by how
    many times I fell down and
    got back up again.”
