What was Mandela's childhood like?

Answer 1

Nelson Mandela was born in 1918 and grew up in the small village of Mvezo. Though his father was a chief, his powers were taken away by the imperialists and the family was forcibly moved to Qunu. After his fatherâ??s death from tuberculosis, he was put under the guardianship of the regent Jongintaba and sent to a Wesleyan school and university, as was the custom for Thembu royalty.
