Biography of Nelson Mandela:
Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader, and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was born on July 18, 1918, in the village of Mvezo in South Africa. Mandela became involved in the anti-apartheid movement in his early 20s and joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1943.
Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to life in prison for his involvement in anti-apartheid activities. He spent 27 years in prison, during which he became a symbol of the struggle against apartheid. Mandela was released from prison in 1990 and went on to negotiate the end of apartheid with then-President F.W. de Klerk.
In 1994, Mandela was elected as the first black President of South Africa in the country's first fully representative democratic election. He served as President until 1999 and worked to promote reconciliation and unity in the country. Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for his efforts to dismantle apartheid and establish a democratic South Africa.
After leaving office, Mandela continued to be an advocate for peace, human rights, and social justice. He founded the Nelson Mandela Foundation, which works to promote his legacy and values. Mandela passed away on December 5, 2013, but his legacy as a champion of freedom and equality continues to inspire people around the world.
