Answer:
Born July 18, 1918 in Mvezo to the village chief Gadla Henry Mphakanqiswa and one of his wives, Nodekeni Fanny. Named Rolihlahla ("pulling the branches of trees", connotes troublemaker) Mandela, later acquired clan name Madiba and given Christian name Nelson by first teacher.
His father was the son of Mandela of the Ixhiba house, a lesser house of the Madiba clan of the Thembu, a Xhosa [or Xhsa, pron. Koh' sa] speaking tribe. Mvezo is in district of Umtata in the Transkei, 800 m east of Cape Town, in SE S Africa, between the Kei river to the S, Indian Ocean to the SE, and Natal to the NE and bordered to the N by the Drakenberg Mountains. NM speaks repeatedly of his love of its rolling hills and fertile valleys. He was raised to be a counselor to the future king Sabata and was not in line to be the hereditary king.
The Nguni are divided into the Northern group (the Zulu and Swazi) and a Southern, the Xhosa consisting of the amaBaca, abeThembu, etc. The Bantus are the larger linguistic subdivision referring to the language spoken south of the line from Kenya to Cameroon, migrants from the area of Niger and more easterly.
The rulers of the Thembu were descended from the great monarch King/Chief Ngubengcka of the Great House, who died 1832. He was succeeded by his son Mthikrakra, whose sons included Ngangelizwe and Matanzima. A son of Ngangelizwe was Jongilizwe Dalindyebo (d. in 1920s), who had sons Jongintaba Dalindyebo (the "regent", d. 1942, father of Justice), Sabata (ruled 1954-), Dabulamanzi, Melithafa, Nxebo, and Meliggili. Matanzima had descendent K. D. Matazima (Kalzer Daliwonga), who later contested leadership against NM. The regent Jongintaba was appointed with NM's father's urging, a favor he later repaid by taking on responsibility for NM.
His father served like the PM of Thembuland but was an appointed, non-hereditary leader, and lost his position after a display of insubordination with the local white magistrate. This led to increased poverty and NM's mother was forced to move to the village of Qunu near Umtata when NM was an infant. Qunu was the village of NM's childhood. Most of the fathers lived away, working in Johannesburg, and his mother tended the crops of maize (corn or "mealies"), sorghum, etc. NM loved to stick fight, fighting boys from other villages. Children were expected not to ask questions of adults. Religion. The abaMfengu were the most educated and adapted to the whites. His mother became a Methodist.
His father's amaMfengu friends the Mbelkela brothers recommended that NM be sent to school and his parents consented. He started at 7 y/o (1925) and was given the name Nelson by his teacher.
His father died of a lung disease 1927 at 9 y/o. The regent Jongintaba volunteered to become his guardian and his mother soon took him to the Great Place, Mqhekezweni, the provisional capital of Thembuland and royal residence of Jongintaba Dalindyebo and his wife No-England. It was a mission station of the Methodist church and therefore Westernized. Chieftancy and Church dominated his life there. Reverend Matyolo. Mission schools trained the blacks to become clerks, interpreters, and policemen. NM became more religious there. He steals maize from Rev. Matyolo and is punished.
Tribal meetings held there demonstrated the democracy customary in Thembuland--consensus was emphasized. But women were second-class citizens with no voting privileges. NM becomes interested in history, learning about African heroes. Chief Joyi tells of Ngangelizwe's heroism fighting the British and rails against the white man. Joyi says the blacks lived in relative peace until the coming of the white man and the shattering of their fellowship.
