He was not overcame by greed as other African presidents did/do.
Nelson Mandela stood down from his role as South Africa's President in 1999. He had only served one term
Because his health was failing.
Nelson Mandela served as the President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. So, to answer your question, he stopped being president in 1999. Time flies when you're fighting apartheid and breaking barriers, huh?
He wanted to end the apartheid. He was SA's president for some time then stepped down to facilitate Thabo Mbeki.
Nelson Mandela did not escape prison because he would have been shot down on site by the officials if had happened.
nelson mandela stood up for south africa showing that even as a youth there is no need for u to just sit down and tell yourself that nothing will go right for me but believe that anything in life is possible nomatter how long it take for you to achieve tha goal you wished to achieve.he believed in himself he had goals and dreams for the future
because the people those times were incredibly racis and when there wasn't any blac people on slavery they were still put down but black people still stood up for themselves like rosa parks and nelson mandela
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. Since retiring, he has attempted to use his considerable prestige to bring peace, freedom, and human rights to the regions of the world that need it most.
Strictly speaking, he wasn't.While the Apartheid policy was harsh and unfair and severely restricted the personal freedom of black people, they weren't owned, so they weren't slaves.
Nelson Mandela chose not to seek re-election for a second term as president of South Africa in 1999. After serving one term, he decided to step down to promote the idea of leadership transition and to encourage younger leaders within the African National Congress (ANC). Mandela believed in the importance of democratic principles and wanted to avoid the pitfalls of prolonged power, thereby setting a precedent for future leaders. His decision was also influenced by his desire to focus on other initiatives, such as HIV/AIDS awareness and peace-building efforts.
he was a president since 1994-1999 before he was sentenced to prisonactually that 's not true first he went to prison and got out on February 11 1990 then in 1994 he became president and in 1993 he got a Nobel prize!!!!
Mandela: Lessons of Leadership Courage In 1994, during the presidential-election campaign, Mandela got on a propeller plane to fly down to the killing fields of Natal and give a speech to his Zulu supporters. Nelson believed in consensus. He used a general feeling to empower the people and motivate them. He was in jail for 20+ years and was released by the president of south africa. When he was released he ran for president and created the first democratic government of south africa. His primary goal was to eliminate the apartheid in south africa. He was tolerant and persistent. Nelson Mandela Quote: "When you want to get a herd to move in a certain direction you stand at the back with a stick. Then a few of the more energetic cattle move to the front and the rest of the cattle follow. You are really guiding them from behind. That is how a leader should do his work"
