Mandela sworn on 10 May 1994 as President

Explanation:

• Mandela recalls briefly how this day was celebrated and what his feelings were at the time of those celebrations. The history and also the history of his own life of the South African struggle came to life before his imagination. He pays homage to thousands of patriots from South Africa who have been struggling and sacrificing their lives for their independence.
