Answer:

Mandela's life trajectory, from prisoner to South Africa's first black president:

Explanation:

• Mandela was dedicated to gaining independence not just for himself but for all South Africans. He started secretly approaching the South African government in 1986 to inquire about their interest in negotiating the end of apartheid.
• On February 11, 1990, four years after being imprisoned, the most well-known political prisoner in the world was freed. Even though he was 71 years old, he still had job to do. After Mandela's incarceration ended, years of contentious discussions ensued. Political unrest and civil war threatened to overwhelm the nation during this time.
• South Africa adopted a temporary constitution in 1993. The first democratic elections in the country were made possible by this. Mandela and South African President F. W. de Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year.
• 1994 saw the holding of South Africa's first democratic elections. Nelson Mandela was declared the nation's first democratically elected president after all the votes were tallied. The final years of Mandela's life would be devoted to changing his nation. He was constantly aware that there was still work to be done and that the fight for independence must be carried out by future generations.
