Nelson Mandela guided south Africa from the shackles of apartheid to a multi-racial democracy, as an icon of peace and reconciliation who came to embody the struggle for justice around the world.
The blacks were treated cruelly.
The were aliens in their own country and were subjected to all sorts of indignities.
The were denied all basic human rights.
Even dogs received a much better treatment than the blacks.
The great leader vowed to put an end to the inhuman practice.
He was thrown behind the prison bar.
But the oppressive rulers could not break the Spirit.
Eventually the great leader realized the goal of liberating his own people.
Imprisoned for nearly three decades for his fight against white minority.
His prestige and charisma helped him win the support of the word.
In 1993, Mandela was awarded the Nobel peace Prize, an honour,he shared with F W de klerk,the white African leader who had freed him from prison three years earlier and negotiated the end of apartheid.
