Answer:
Mandela’s understanding of freedom changed with age and experience. When he was a boy, freedom for him was to run freely in the fields, free to swim in the stream and ride the broad backs of slow- moving bulls. Later on he realised that his boyhood freedom was an illusion. He discovered as a young man that his freedom had been taken away from him.
As a student he wanted freedom only for himself which were: freedom to stay out at night, freedom to read what he wanted and so on. As a young man he yearned for the basic and honourable freedom of achieving his potential, of earning of marrying and having a family. With the advancement of age and experience, he felt that not only his freedom but also the freedom of everyone was curtailed. Now he wanted freedom for all his people.
