Situations such as low-quality schools for blacks, whites
forbidden access to places, physical abuse and exploitation of blacks, among other xenophobic
situations caused Mandela to fight against racism, poverty and social inequality.

Mandela was arrested for his ideas and revolutionary action and even from prison he was active
in the struggle for the rights of black men. He was sentenced to all life on prision, but he was
released after 27 years with the help of international organizations. When he was released, he
led a political group and he was the first black president of South Africa .
When he finished his time president, he was dedicated to promoting human rights, mediating
international conflicts, charity and fight the AIDS pandemic.

Mandela received many awards; including Mandela was Nobel Prize for peace in 1993.
Mandela for many people who supported segregation was a terrorist, a guerrilla, they always
ignored their peaceful and fair fight.
Mandela also is named in his clan and his country under the name Madiba, Tata or Father of the
Nation South Africa. He had 93 years old when he died in Johannesburg (2013).
What do you know about his country?
Small contributions about South Africa.
South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of the African continent.
In the region known as Black Africa.
South Africa has three capital cities distributed by the branches of
government. Its main capital is Pretoria.
South Africa is called the Rainbow Nation for cultural, religious and
linguistic diversity.
South Africa has large deposits Paleoanthropological. There prehistoric
cultures prior to Homo sapiens evolved.
South Africa has vast plains and deserts as Kalahari. This geography makes
South Africa is a diverse country.
in South Africa long has undergone great political, economic , social and
war because it was colonized violently by Portugal, then England " colonized
" regions without considering the ethnic groups that there had , this
caused disputes of a cultural nature were created between ethnic groups .
South Africa also was a victim of racism. English besides that invaded its
territory, transgressed their culture, they will also secreted by their skin
color. This was called apartheid.
South Africa is a country of contrasts. Some people have a lot of money
for diamond mining but 87 percent of people living in extreme poverty.

What do you think about it?

I think, first of Mandela is a role model for their ability to transform the world peacefully
with arguments and good heart. I think that the life of Mandela is an invitation to fight for
what we know right for ourselves and for humanity.
I also think that all the situations that have been victims of South Africans, are an example
of the politics of world order which they just want power and money. Its sad that we make
ourselves blind because they did not affect us directly. I think that today many countries are
also victims of transculturation and invasion by countries that have power.
Ahhh and racism, I think it is absurd and stupid. These actions make me doubt that we are
the most evolved beings on earth , sometimes I think our difference with animals is that they
do not attack for pleasure but for survival and we have an opposable thumb.
Finally, I think we should all oppose and act accordingly to any kind of discrimination. In some
lei side that discrimination is a historical and ideological construct that perpetuate human
beings because of our inability to think for themselves without being influenced by what the
majority thinks.
