Answer:
Explanation:
As a boy, for Mandela 'being free did not have much meaning as he thought he was born free. He was free to do what he liked.
He believed that as long as he obeyed his father and the rules of his tribe, he was free in every way.
As a student, Mandela realised that the freedoms that he enjoyed as a child was an illusion and he was actually not free. Then, he wanted the temporary freedom that existed only for his own self.
He wanted freedom to stay out at night, read what he pleased and wherever he wanted. Mandela contrasts these 'transitory freedoms with the basic and honorable freedoms'.
Now, he wanted to achieve his potential, earn his money, marry and start his family. These freedoms unlike the transitory freedoms revolved around himself as well as the people of his community. This freedom existed without any racial discrimination.
