Question

How did Mandela relate the freedom of his people as his own freedom?​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Mandela, true freedom means freedom not to be obstructed in leading a lawful life. It was the desire for the freedom of his people to live their lives with dignity and self-respect that animated his life.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mandela realized in his youth that it was not just his freedom that was being curtailed, but the freedom of all blacks. The hunger for his own freedom became the hunger for the freedom of his people. This desire of a non-racial society transformed him into a virtuous and self-sacrificing man.
