| Mandela In 1964 |
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is known to his
countrymen as Madiba. He broke the apartheid in reconciliatory effort in South
Africa way back.Thus, he was elected President
of South Africa four years after he was freed in 1990. He is considered as the first black South African to get the the electoral mandate in multiracial election. He served presidency for one term only. Mandela can be described as a
person with high spirit despite hostility, deprivation and loneliness he experienced in 27 years stay in jail.
In the same way, he can also be compared to a physically challenged person who has a
determination and guts to do things other normal persons do. As a nonagenarian, Mandela's psychological and emotional state are very sharp and stable —compared to other people of his age—that he performs his life in
the mantra: “Live life to the fullest.”
