    Only a small amount of people know that my real name is Rolihlahla. Mostly‚ I am recognised as Nelson Mandela. When I started school at age 7‚ my teacher changed my name to Nelson. We weren’t allowed to keep our African names because of the British bias of our education. I didn’t just lose a name‚ I lost a part of myself‚ of my identity. The whites either couldn’t or refused to pronounce our real names. To them‚ African culture did not exist. At school‚ the government spent approximately 6 times
