Mandela was imprisoned by the apartheid regime in South Africa for 27 years, because of his fight against apartheid. He became a symbol of hope and the fight for freedom for South African people and for people all over the world.
After
his release from prison, Mandela became South Africa's first
democratically-elected President. He accomplished the seemingly
impossible – a bloodless revolution. Under Mandela, apartheid came
to an end without the shedding of blood.
His
wisdom has inspired millions of people. Mandela is now an ancestor.
May he long continue to guide us.
