South African president F.W. de Klerk removed the ban on the African National Congress and released him.
He got out because the president that put them in jail (P.W. Botha) in the first place died and the guy who took his spoot ( Frederik Willem de Klerk) freed Nelson and all the other people in jail with him for the same reason Nelson was put in jail
-Hope this helps

No. Nelson Mandela stepped down from the presidency of South Africa in 1999 and was replaced by Thabo Mbeki who ruled from 1999-2008, when he resigned. He was succeeded by his deputy Kgalema Motlanthe for one year before the election of 2009 brought Jacob Zuma to the Presidency.

What year did Nelson Mandela arrive in Johannesburg?
nelson mandela arrived in johannesburg. like thousands of black people, hoping to have a more brighter future and get more paid. He arrived at johannesburg in 1941. IN 1942 he began working as a law clerk at the firm witkin,sidelsky & Eidelman. mandela progressed through the year's had high hopes for his future but something came in his way and had to live in jail for 27 years and when he came out he won the noble peace award for being the humble one and causing peace but that really to me doesnt make sense because before he won the award they called him a "terriost" and said he was a "racist" man. that may not fit into the question you asked but when you asked that question it made me think about this:)
