Nelson Mandela was a South African leader who was tried for treason by the White South African government.
He and seven other leaders were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964, for daring to oppose the apartheid regime in his country.
He spent the next 28 years in Robben Island, South Africa’s most dreaded prison.
He was released after 28 years from jail, and at midnight of the 26th of April 1994, South Africa got independence. He became the first President of independent South Africa.
