INTRODUCTION:
Nelson Rolihlahla (Madiba) Mandela: Who was this great man? To get to the bottom of this question we need to ask a few questions: Where was he born? What was his early life and education like? What shaped his career and what did he achieve in his life that was important? What happened to Nelson Mandela in his last years?
DATE AND PLACE OF BIRTH:
On the eighteenth of July 1918 one of the South Africa’s most greatest leaders were born in a place called Mvezo, a small village that was located in the district of Umtata in the Eastern Cape. This special person’s name is Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. His tribal name, "Rolihalah," means "troublemaker." He is later given his English name, Nelson, by a teacher at his school
EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION:
His patrilineal great grandfather was the King of the Thembu people. When he was nine years old his father died of tuberculosis and the regent, named Jongintaba, became the guardian of Mandela.
He went to a Wesleyan mission school. At age sixteen he was initiated and attended the Clarkebury Boarding Institute. He was able to complete his certificate in only two years rather than the typical three. He then moved to Healdtown and attended school at the Wesleyan college in Fort Beaufort
When he was nineteen, he was interested in running and boxing.
He studied for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the Fort Hare University, where he met Oliver Tambo. Mandela and Oliver Tambo opened the first black legal firm in the country in 1952. 1
