“It always seems impossible until it’s done”. Nelson Mandela was South African first black president from 1990 to 1994. Originally christened Rolihlahla Mandela, the name Nelson was given to him by his teacher Ms. Mdingane, who couldn’t pronounce his native name. He was a human right activist, lawyer, politician and philanthropist. Mandela lived at a time it was difficult to educate a black person. He lived when black people were denied certain rights to life and separated to live in different bad areas of the society because of the colour of their skin. This time is known as the apartheid era. Through the black political party, the African National Congress(ANC), Mandela led different protests against black discrimination, oppression, civil rights and equality of races in South Africa. For his political activities, he was sent to prison for 27 years. During those years, he was moved around three prisons; Pollsmoor Prison, Victor Vester Prison and Robben Island. At Robben Island, Mandela was left alone for 18 years as the only prisoner on the island. Despite being in prison, he still led and fought for equality of races through his strong supporters including his wife, Winnie Mandikizela, Thambo Mbeki, Oliver Tambo, Joe Slovo among a host of others.
