Before being elected as president he was a
anti-apartheid activist and co-founded the armed
wing of the African National Congress. In 1962
he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and
other charges, he was sentenced to life
imprisonment. He served 27 years in prison, then
4 years after he was released he became the
president of South Africa. He is a good
example for the modern day as he brought everyone
together in South Africa and this is an example

Nelson Mandela suits the integrity part of the
school LIFE values because even after 27 years in
prison he wasnt bitter, many people believed
that he would just swap the apartheid from
discriminating against black people to putting
them in charge and people discriminating against
the white people, however he knew that this would
do nothing for the country and so he just
abolished it all together.

I detest racialism, because I regard it as a
barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man
or a white man. Nelson Mandela
