Nelson Mandela

Turning Points

When his father died Mandela and was groomed for becoming chief of his local tribe .However Mandela would never be able to make this commitment .
whilst at university Nelson Mandela became increasingly aware of the unjust nature of South African Society ,and the little opprtunities either Economic or political especialy for the Black South Africans . Much to the disappointment of his family ,Mandela became involved in politics.
Along with his good friend and comrad Oliver Tambo was expelled from Fort Hare for organising a student strike.
By the late 1950s Mandela had to resign from the ANC and work underground so there was an extermely lengthly Treason Trial in which Mandela and several others were charged with treason .
In 1960 the sharpeville massacre of 63 black South Africans changed the whole political climate. The government banned the ANC. This led Mandela to advocate armed struggle through the Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) .
By 1962 MAndela had been arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Robben Island prison .
In 1990 Mandela releasedand it was an emotional moment watched by millions around the globe .
AS president,Mandela presided over the transition from minority rule and apartheid .His advocacy of reconciliation led to international acclaim and importantly the trust of the White African population .
Mandela lost his eldest son who suffered from HIV epidemic . So he worked hard to campaign on this issue .
After his retiring he continued to be an international figure of great statue , he was one of the few polititicians who have gone beyond apolitical role .
