Nelson Mandela

1faq because he is a faq

Nelson Mandela was the President of South Africa and a highly revered leader in the fight for equality and justice for all people. Religion had an influence on Mandela, since he was educated in a Methodist school as a child. Furthermore, his father was a priest and his family was very religious. Religion caused Mandela to understand the importance of social justice and helping the disenfranchised.

He was bad but now is good sure he went to jail for 27 years but after that he changed and became so good he got a peace prize!

There are many different types of mandalas. They have a variety of colors and designs and the vast majority of them are circular.

Nelson Mandela has six children. Their names are Thembekile Mandela, Makaziwe Mandela, Makgatho Mandela, Makaziwe Mandela, Zenani Mandela, and Zindziswa Mandela.

In my opinion, it is Buzz Lightyear. Everyone has seen Toy Story or have at least heard of it. All children will know who Buzz Lightyear is as they will have watched Toy story but I can almost guarantee that if you were to ask children who Nelson Mandela was, they wouldn't know. Although, as they grow older, they should know who Nelson Mandela is.

This is about the British sailor Horatio Nelson who died in 1805 at Trafalgar. He had one child, a girl.

A person who knows that they we all have the same right to be here on this earth, a person who respects other people, who values life and respects himself and his surroundings.

Getting rid of apartheid was one of the biggest challenges that Nelson Mandela faced. The apartheid system was introduced by the white government in 1948. This system restricted the freedom of blacks, Indians and coloureds in South Africa. Some rights that were taken away from them were:

· They could not own land in 'white areas'.

· They were forced into townships in crowded conditions on the outskirts of cities or designated homelands in rural areas.

· Best-paying jobs were reserved for the whites.

· Blacks were not allowed to form political parties, become members of Parliament, or vote.

· Blacks had to carry passbooks (identification papers) at all times. These were to be produced on demand.

· Places were segregated. Zoos, parks, beaches, even ambulances were assigned for blacks or whites.

Because Nelson Mandela felt strongly about equal rights for all races, he joined the ANC. The ANC protested against apartheid which led to Mandela being banned from political action (including peaceful protest) and later he was imprisoned on Robben Island. It is said that the reason the government did not have him killed was because they feared a backlash, so instead they locked him up. While he was imprisoned there was a lot of international attention. Many countries began forms of protest. 'Free Mandela' was often made into protest songs and poems. Some countries refused to play sport against South African teams and countries boycotted South African products. Finally in 1990 Mandela was released. Nelson Mandela had to overcome many challenges in his life and a few are outlined above. For Mandela, his main challenge was apartheid, and after a long fight, he won and apartheid was abandoned.

Nelson Mandela is known for ending apartheid. He was also known for being a South African activist, who was put in jail for 27 years.

Because he fought against discrimination to black people.

Nelson Mandela was always affected by the fact that he chose to serve for the people of Africa before his family. When his mother and son passed away during his dark period of life in Robben Island as a prisoner he was not granted with permission to attend their funeral. This affected him mentally and was one of his weaknesses as he always regretted that he couldn't serve his family properly.

Yes he is (he's still alive as of July 2013 - barely). His party, the African National Congress, is a socialist political party which runs for elections on joint lists with the Communist Party. Other liberty idols such as Mahatma Gandhi, the 14th Dalai Lama and Aung San Suu Kyi were/are also socialists, or have associated themselves with socialist movements and political parties at some point.

This question should probably be what are the similarities. They were both democratically elected heads of state in their respective countries. Other than that their stories are not paralell in many other aspects. The roads that they took to get there were much different. If you have a specific difference you're curious about, ask the question because I could write a dissertation on this general question.
