Definition

  • Nelson Mandela was born Rolihlahla Dalibhunga Mandela on July 18, 1918, in the small village of Mbhashe in the Umtata district of the Transkei province in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. As a result of his skillful leadership, personal and political integrity, and charisma, Mandela emerged as the key figure in the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa, ultimately becoming president after the country's first multiracial elections in 1994.
