Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Nelson Mandela is the fact that he could spend such a long time in prison, and still come out ready to make a change. He was able to do anything that it took in order to get what he wanted to for him and his people.

Mandela was arrested on 5 August, 1962 after living on the run for 17 months, and was imprisoned in the Johannesburg Fort. In 1964, Mandela along with other leaders of the ANC, were put on trial charged with involvement in planning armed action and a conspiracy to help other countries invade South Africa. They were found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, Mandela would spend only 18 years on Robben island prison.
It is said he retired and wanted to spend more time with his friends and family, so pretty much that is what he is doin and enjoying the rest of his life with them.
