Nelson+Mandela

=Nelson Rolihlahla MANDELA=

Nelson Mandela was born at Qunu July 18th 1918. His father was chief councillor to Thembuland's acting paramount. He was expelled from school and stuff because he went on a student strike. He was the president of south Africa. He retiered in 1999. He is awsome!!!!!!!! But, several people did not think he was awsome, and he was jailed for his political beliefs. He spent much of his life in jail, but that never hurt his spirt! He is conciderd a political hero for his bravery when he said what he believed was right, no matter what people were to think about him.A good biography of him is on: www.anc.org.za/people/**mandela.** Yes he is old like, 91 but he is still alive! Go him! He was south Africa's first president. He even came and congratulated Barak Obama at the inauguration. What an awsome guy this guy is! He was willing to give his life to eliminating racisim. He made a secret organization where he and his friends sabotage local discriminating facilities. WITH BOMBS! Of course they made sure nobody was in there. He devoted his life to stopping aparathied. He once was a cop, but he quit so he could run away from gaurds, trying to bring him back to the village. They were freaked out when he ran away before his marrage. He had many run-in's with the law. But he always made it out okay.
