Nelson Mandela and Apartheid


Apartheid means a racist government who had preferences for the white people . white people had more advantage in African than an true African. Growing up in South Africa under the Apartheid system of government meant these things, and worse, were part of daily life
Nelson Mandela is such a hero because he was one of those who stand up for their people and tried al the best he could to stop Apartheid and so that africans can get their indepence and be free again.So african can be able to control their own country.he was then arrested But even while in prison, Mandela continued to be a hope for his people who struggle against Apartheid in his absence. In 1990, after 27 years of imprisonment, Mandela was freed. His release marked the beginning of the end for apartheid. In less than five years after his release, Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and elected president of South Africa.
Nelson Mandela is one of the world's true freedom fighters, and his life and personal triumphs will be remembered long after the world has forgotten the evils of Apartheid.
he used the 5 year in jails to transform South Africa from a racist government
(apartheid) to a genuine democracy.
Mandela was so admired by the authors because Mandela never gave up he was hope for his people and after he was arrested . prison for 27 years after he got out all he want was peace and he didn't blame or fought the European instead he became friend with the Europeans.
