Life of Nelson Mandela

History is full of remarkable people, but not many are as influential and inspiring as Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela was born on 18 July 1918 to the royal family of the Thembu tribe in Mvezo, British South Africa. His father’s name was Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa Mandela and his mother’s Nosekeni Fanny. His original name was Rolihlahla, and he got the name Nelson from a teacher at the age of seven. He was a hard-working student and would go on to become a law major at the University of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand. Afterward, he became a lawyer in Johannesburg, during which he introduced himself to anti-colonial and African nationalist movements.
Nelson Mandela became the first black president of the country. He was an icon of peace and equality worldwide. In South Africa, he is often referred to by his Xhosa clan name, Madiba, and described as the "Father of the Nation". His pass-away in 2013 saddened the world and left many in tears, but his status as a symbol of equality, peace, and humanitarianism will stay forever.
