Explanation:
Nelson Mandela was born Rolihlahla Mandela on July 18, 1918, in a
rural village in the Transkei region of South Africa.
His name means “troublemaker” in the Xhosa language.
A teacher at a Christian mission school later gave him the name Nelson.
Mandela rose from a humble village of mud huts into a comfortable
life as the adopted son of a Tembu chief.
As a young man, Mandela attended university, but was dismissed
because he took part in a student protest, his first act of civil rights activism.
In the 1940s, Mandela entered into the turbulent world of South African
racial politics by joining in the liberation movement known as the
African National Congress (A.N.C).
Mandela became South Africa's first democratically elected
president in 1994. He focused his presidency on building peace and unity
in his country.
In 1999, at the end of his term as president, Mandela chose not to seek
re-election. He remained politically active, however, working to promote
peace throughout Africa and to draw attention to social injustice and the
spread of HIV and AIDS.
He was married three times and had six children and 17 grandchildren.
In 2009, an abridged version of Mandela's 1995 autobiography,
Long Walk to Freedom, was published for children.
In that same year, the United Nations declared his birthday
as Nelson Mandela International Day.
