Answer 1

Explanation:

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013) was a South African politician and activist. On April 27, 1994, he was made the first President of South Africa elected in a fully represented democratic election. Mandela was also the first black President of his country, South Africa.Mandela was born in Mvezo, South Africa to a Thembu royal family.

His government focused on throwing out the legacy of apartheid by ending racism, poverty, inequality, and on improving racial understanding in South Africa. Politically a believer in socialism, he served as the President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1991 to 1997 and adopted new Constitution of South African in 1996 that prohibits all discrimination, based on language, religion, handicap.He won the Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership for his anti-apartheid activism orientation, not only on racism. Internationally, Mandela was the Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999.

Mandela received more than 250 honors, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Soviet Order of Lenin. He is often referred to by his Xhosa clan name, Madiba, or as Tata ("Father"). Mandela was described as a hero, and his actions gave thousands of people hope.

Mandela was sick for several years during his retirement. He was hospitalized in late summer of 2013 from a continuous lung infection. Mandela died on 5 December 2013 in Houghton Estate, Johannesburg from a respiratory tract infection. He was 95 years old.

Answer 2

Your answer :-

Hand in hand with his wife Winnie, Nelson Mandela left Víctor Verster Prison as a free man for the first time in 27 years. At the gate, a police cordon held back the emotional crowd that was waiting for the South African leader and that blocked the path of the car that took Mandela to Cape Town’s Grand Parade, the square that was jammed with the hundreds of thousands of other supporters awaited him on the day of his liberation.

It was the beginning of the end of the racial segregation that had lasted for 300 years, and that ended on the day in 1994 when Nelson Mandela assumed the Presidency of South Africa, only four years after being released from prison.

Democratic elections, free of racial discrimination, led to the victory of the African National Congress (ANC), and Mandela made history by becoming the first black president of the country, after having been imprisoned for three decades for his fight against apartheid. Having become a political legend during his years behind bars, Mandela led the country’s transition, defended the process of democratisation, and worked to realise it “quickly and without interruptions”.

Madiba, the name by which the political leader was known in South Africa, believed in “the unity of individuals” and “the national reconciliation”, but, above all, he rejected resentment, which is what he could have felt for those who imprisoned him while his wife became a symbol of the resistance and raised their two children, two children who already had their own families by the time Mandela was released from prison.
