Sorry honey. Anything you get off of here will just be here-say. You must do some real research and have credible sources. He is so famous that there is an absolute plethora of information available to him anywhere. Libraries, magazines, old newspapers or just Google it. You will be deluged with accurate information.
In his early years, he was a bit of a terrorist.
He has a penchant for lairy shirts
Ground Force once did a make-over of his garden
UB40 did a song in his honour (free Nelson Mandela)
His wife Winnie was a very very dodgy character, who had her own ‘football team’ (yeah, right).
World leaders find much kudos in having a meeting/photoshoot with him – as do potential world leaders and ‘do-gooder’ type celebs.
He makes a mean curry.
Nelson Rohihlahla Mandela, b. July 18, 1918, became the first black president of South Africa on May 10, 1994. Trained as an attorney, he helped form the Youth League of the African National Congress (ANC) in 1944. In 1961 he abandoned peaceful protest and became head of the ANC’s new military wing. Sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964, Mandela came to symbolize black political aspirations and was named head of the ANC after his release on Feb. 11, 1990. He and F. W. de Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating South Africa’s peaceful transition to multiracial democracy. After the ANC victory in the April 1994 elections, Mandela worked to ease racial tensions, court foreign investment, and provide services to the victims of apartheid.
Mandela has announced that he will not run for reelection in 1999, and in December 1997 Thabo Mbeki succeeded him as ANC party leader.
