Exercise: Reading – Nelson Mandela (1)
Details:
A divided
people
Rolihlahla Mandela was born on July
18th, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa.
At that time, there were different
schools for white and black people in South Africa. Black people also ate in
different restaurants and they didn't
vote in elections. They called
this political system apartheid.
Law and injustice
Rolihlahla's teacher in primary school gave him the name
of Nelson. Later, he left his village and
went to Fort Hare University and the
University of the Witwatersrand to study law. When he started
working as a lawyer, Nelson
Mandela saw a lot of
injustice in South Africa.
Learning a new
language
In 1962, the police arrested Nelson and sent him to a
high-security prison for life because he protested
against apartheid. During his time in prison, Mandela taught himself to speak Afrikaans, one of the 11 official
languages of South Africa. He said he wanted to talk to his prison guards in their
own language to try to understand their ideas and feelings.
Making history
After he left prison in 1990, Mandela became a politician
and helped his country have the first multiracial elections. He won these elections in 1994. He then became,
at the age of 74, the first
black president of South Africa (1994–1999). He was also the oldest
president in history. As president, he wanted to stop violence and bring peace to South
Africa.
His legacy
Nelson Mandela retired from public life in 2004, but he
didn't stop his good work. He died in 2013 at his
home in Johannesburg at the age of
95. Today, Mandela's
memory lives on as a symbol of freedom and justice for people all over
the world.
