Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

First of all, Nelson Mandela was certainly one of the best wrestler against poverty, racism, discrimination and others inequalities in the world.

Unfortunately, he died at the age of 95 in 2013 at Johannesburg owing to a respiratory infection. In 1918, nobody suspected that Nelson Mandela would become a legend in the fight against apartheid.

At first sight, Nelson Mandela comes from a thembue royal family of the Xhosa ethnic group. It's a tribe known for its sacredness.

In fact, Rolihlahla is his real name and Mandela was chose to the estate of his grandfather.

Nevertheless, He will become the first of his tribe to attend a school and it’s in this one that he will be given an English name “Nelson”. He stand out from the crowd. He was such a great person!

After graduating , he joined the only university where blacks are accepted, Fort Hare.

Nelson was interested in political debates, resistance without violence ...

The key dates in Nelson Mandela's life are :

On January 11, 1962 he leaves his country to raise funds and obtain financial support for their small army

On June 12, 1964, he is stopped for sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the political regime, he is sentenced to life imprisonment on robben island next to the Cap. How bad this moment was!

On February 11, 1990, he was released from prison by the president of South Africa after 27 years.

At last, He will become in May the 10, 1994 the first black president of South Africa.

The life of this little character was punctuated by several personal fulfillment, he achieved his goal. What an unforgettable character!

As a matter of fact, Nelson Mandela was rewarded for his courage and fighting from his early age.

The efforts of Nelson Mandela and President Frederik de Klerk are world-renowned when they jointly receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 in recognition of "their work for the peaceful eradication of the apartheid regime and for the establishment of foundations of a new South Africa.

Its my honor today to rise to pay tribute to the great Nelson Mandela. So I think that the world can say that Nelson Mandela will remain one of the important characters in the evolution of the human conditions of the blacks.

I had the lucky to visit the jail where Nelson was, I think it's the bravest man on earth I’ve ever seen! Just the word “incredible”
