NELSON MANDELA AND THE END OF APARTHEID IN SOUTH AFRICA http://www.nobel.se/peace/laureates/1993/index.html Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is known as one of the greatest South African reformers and revolutionaries. Mandela led the movement against white supremacy, Apartheid, and after almost three decades in prison, he went on to head the country as the first democratically elected president. Mandela's Early Life Rolihlahla Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in the Transkei. His life was first affected by white culture in school, when his teacher, on the first day of classes changed his name to Nelson, so he would not stand out so much in white presence. Mandela's father died when he was nine years old, and he was sent to live with the Regent, the equivalent of the king of the Transkei people, to be trained for leadership. While living with the Regent, he saw how the representatives from each division of the Transkei were able to speak for their people's rights, creating his desire for a democratic government. Mandela: An Illustrated Biography I was made, by the law, a criminal, not because of what I had done, but because of what I stood for, because of what I thought, because of my conscious. Can it be any wonder to anybody that such conditions make a man an outlaw of society?

This is an archive page !!! Continuing Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom on the Internet at the Online BookStore (OBS) Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom began as scraps of paper, buried under the floor of his prison cell. He was incarcerated in South Africa for more than a quarter of a century, part of that time in the prison of Robben Island , about which he writes: "Its isolation made it not simply another prison, but a world of its own, far removed from the one we had come from. The high spirits with which we had left Pretoria had been snuffed out by its stern atmosphere; we were face to face with the realization that our life would be unredeemably grim. In Pretoria, we felt connected to our supporters and our families; on the island, we felt cut off, and indeed we were. We had the consolation of being with each other, but that was the only consolation." Now Nelson Mandela, joint winner of the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Fredrik Willem DeKlerk, is President of South Africa, a free and multiracial democracy. And now, those bits of paper, his once confiscated and forbidden manuscript, have been transformed into digital bits for all to freely read and access on the global Internet. The online continuation of the Long Walk to Freedom has begun.

(In English) Nelson (Rolihlahla) Mandela (1918 -). Politicien et avocat sud-africain. Il était président du congrès national africain (CNA) de 1991 à 1997. Emprisonné en 1964, en raison de son rôle comme organisateur du CNA qui était alors interdit, il est devenu un symbole d'unité pour le mouvement mondial contre l'apartheid. En février 1990, il a été libéré et l'interdiction contre le CNA a été soulevée. Il a ensuite entamé des négociations avec le gouvernement au sujet d'un future multiracial pour l'Afrique du Sud. En mai 1994, il a été élu le nouveau président de l'Afrique du sud après que le CNA ait recolté 62,65% des voix dans les élections à suffrage universel. Il a partagé le prix Nobel de la paix en 1993 avec le Président sud-africain F.W. de Klerk. En décembre 1997, Nelson Mandela a quitté son poste de président du CNA et a été remplacé par son ancien député Thabo Mbeki. En 1955, Mandela a épousé Winnie Mandela, membre d'un mouvement pour la défense des droits civils sud-africains. Ils se sont séparés en 1992 et ont divorcés en 1996. L'autobiographie de Neslon Mandela, "Long Walk to Freedom" (1994) a été largement acclamée, et sa visite d'état en Grande-Bretagne en juillet 1996 a été un grand succès.

(En Français) South African politician and lawyer, president from 1994. He was president of the African National Congress (ANC) 1991-97. Imprisoned from 1964, as organizer of the then banned ANC, he became a symbol of unity for the worldwide anti-apartheid movement. In February 1990 he was released, the ban on the ANC having been lifted, and entered into negotiations with the government about a multiracial future for South Africa. In May 1994 he was sworn in as South Africa's first post-apartheid president after the ANC won 62.65% of the vote in universal-suffrage elections. He shared the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1993 with South African president F W de Klerk. Mandela was born near Umbata, south of Lesotho, the son of a local chief. In a trial of several ANC leaders, he was acquitted of treason in 1961, but was once more arrested in 1964 and given a life sentence on charges of sabotage and plotting to overthrow the government. In February 1990 he was released from prison on the orders of state president F W de Klerk and in July 1991 was elected, unopposed, to the presidency of the ANC. In December 1991 the ANC began constitutional negotiations with the government and in February 1993 Mandela and President de Klerk agreed to the formation of a government of national unity after free, nonracial elections (that took place in 1994). Relations between Mandela and de Klerk deteriorated when former members of de Klerk's security forces were prosecuted in March 1996. He stepped down as ANC president in December 1997 and was replaced by his former deputy Thabo Mbeki.

THE DREAD LIBRARY The Matrix Rhetoric of Reggae Music Reggae Links Dread Library Catalog Peter Tosh and Nelson Mandela Fighting from Opposite Corners The Prize: Equal Rights Jeffrey Coyne Peter Tosh and Nelson Mandela are two men who dedicated their lives to fight for equal rights. They are united by common goals but walked on different paths in their struggles against the oppressors. The major commonality, which made both men brilliant leaders and revolutionary thinkers, was their passion. The passion they had for their beliefs and turning their visions into reality. As the teenage years moved on for these two men, their paths towards savior only diverged more. Mandela was moving on in his education attending a Wesleyan secondary school and later the University of Fort Hare. It was during his time in college that he saw the legal system as a way to liberate the oppressed. He was kicked out of the university for his involvement in a protest and later finished a Bachelors of Art while serving as a clerk in Johannesburg. He became involved politically and decided he was going to aid his people by attacking the legal system as a professional attorney. Nelson Mandela earned the nickname of the "Black Pimpernel" because of his success at avoiding the police. As a political activist and lawyer in the 1950’s he was banned, arrested and imprisoned by the South African government. In order to keep up his work and not rot away in a cell, he went underground and became a master of disguise eluding the authorities and thus earning the title of the "Black Pimpernel" (

Nelson Rolihlahla MANDELA Click picture for full size image of Nelson Mandela Former President, African National Congress President of South Africa See the ' Mandela Page ' for a listing of Mandela resources Profile of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela Nelson Mandela's greatest pleasure, his most private moment, is watching the sun set with the music of Handel or Tchaikovsky playing. Locked up in his cell during daylight hours, deprived of music, both these simple pleasures were denied him for decades. With his fellow prisoners, concerts were organised when possible, particularly at Christmas time, where they would sing. Nelson Mandela finds music very uplifting, and takes a keen interest not only in European classical music but also in African choral music and the many talents in South African music. But one voice stands out above all - that of Paul Robeson, whom he describes as our hero. The years in jail reinforced habits that were already entrenched: the disciplined eating regime of an athlete began in the 1940s, as did the early morning exercise. Still today Nelson Mandela is up by 4.30am, irrespective of how late he has worked the previous evening. By 5am he has begun his exercise routine that lasts at least an hour. Breakfast is by 6.30, when the days newspapers are read. The day s work has begun. With a standard working day of at least 12 hours, time management is critical and Nelson Mandela is extremely impatient with unpunctuality, regarding it as insulting to those you are dealing with.

Born in 1918 to a polygamous family with ethnically defined royal status, Mandela’s mother converted to Christianity when he was seven. His subsequent mission school education was balanced by the oral history that he learned from his tribal elders. His father died when he was nine, and he went to live with his uncle, Jongintaba Dalindyebo, head of the Madiba clan and regent to the young Sabata, heir to the Thembu throne. Aged 21 he was sent to Fort Hare University where he met his nephew and tribal senior, Kaiser Matanzima, a future political opponent who collaborated with apartheid’s grand plan to create ‘independent’, ethnically defined ‘homelands’. At university he also met his future comrade and political leader (in the African National Congress), Oliver Tambo. Mandela was elected to the Students Representative Council, but declined to serve in solidarity with a student’s boycott. For this act, he was suspended from the university, an act that also created conflict between him and his guardian. Escaping an arranged marriage at the age of 23, Mandela fled to Johannesburg where he worked briefly as night-watchman at Crown Mines before meeting his political mentor, Walter Sisulu, who secured him a job running errands and as a translator for a legal firm. Mandela resumed his university studies by correspondence, and completed his BA degree in 1942, following which he began studying law part-time.

SCHED A BIOGRAFICA NELSON MANDELA Biografia del grande leader sudafricano - Nobel per la Pace 1993 FECE CROLLARE LA FORTEZZA DEL "POTERE BIANCO" DALLA CELLA DI UN CARCERE Da lì condusse, per ventott’anni, la battaglia per ridare dignità e libertà ai suoi fratelli neri di PAOLO AVANTI Era uno di quei febbrai di fine estate, non eccessivamente caldi. Il cielo era terso, come solo in Sud Africa può esserlo. La sveglia per il prigioniero politico Nelson Mandela nel carcere di Pollsmoor, a Città del Capo, sarebbe stata come al solito alle quattro del mattino. Ma non era una giornata come tutte le altre. Quella sarebbe stata l'ultima mattina trascorsa chiuso tra le mura di una prigione. Da quel giorno, dopo 28 anni, Mandela avrebbe riacquistato la libertà. Avrebbe varcato i portoni di Pollsmoor e avrebbe potuto finalmente ammirare le splendide montagne di Constantiaberg, attorno al Capo. Ma mentre faceva la sua ultima colazione da prigioniero politico, blandamente controllato dalle guardie con le quali ormai era nata una certa complicità, non immaginava nemmeno lontanamente quale calorosa accoglienza gli avrebbero riservato non solo i suoi compagni di battaglia, ma anche i bianchi. Quando la sua auto lasciò la prigione, dopo aver superato l'imponente sbarramento di giornalisti e fotografi, dirigendosi verso Città del Capo attraversando le verdi campagne della zona, tra villette e prati all'inglese, si accorse che il Sud Africa era cambiato. Erano infatti proprio gli abitanti bianchi di quella zona residenziale a salutarlo con affetto dai cigli della strada. Era, questa, forse la medaglia più bella che potesse ricevere dopo anni di sofferenze.

Nelson Mandela by Kene Oliobi I will go down on my knees to beg those who want to drag our country into bloodshed." N elson Rolihlahla Mandela was born on July 18, 1918, in the tiny village of Mwezo in the Umtata district, capital of the Transkei. After receiving a primary education at a local mission school, Nelson Mandela enrolled at Healdtown Methodist Boarding School. He later matriculated at University College of Fort Hare, the only residential higher education campus open to blacks in South Africa. At that time, the government was practicing a form of institutionalized racism known as apartheid. In 1940, Mandela was expelled from school for participating in a student strike. Mandela completed his Bachelor of Arts Degree by correspondence. Mandela went on in 1944 to join the ANC and helped found the ANC Youth League (ANCYL). That same year, he met a nurse, Evelyn Ntoko Mase, and after a few months of courtship, they were married in Johannesburg. As a result of his disciplined work and consistent effort, Mandela was appointed Secretary of the ANCYL in 1948. In 1950, he became the ANCYL President. In 1952 Mandela became the ANC Transvaal President and Deputy National President. He was appointed National Volunteer-in-Chief of the Defiance of Unjust Laws Campaign in 1952 and traveled the country organizing resistance to discriminatory legislation.

And there are few other lives that have been so full of struggle. Born in South Africa in 1918, Mandela studied to become a lawyer. He then devoted his life to fighting apartheid, the official policy of racial segregation practiced by the South African government. Mandela joined the African National Congress, which led the struggle. Because of his actions with this group he was convicted of sabotage and sentenced to life in prison in 1964. As an international campaign mounted pressure against the government, Mandela was released in 1990. He was elected president of the ANC and was an influential force in the peace negotiations that abolished apartheid.
