2.  Was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918.
 Was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the
University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law in 1942.
 South Africa's most influential leader.
 Leader of the south African Anti-Apartheid movement.
 First black President in South Africa.

3.  Often called separate development since the 1960s, was
made possible through the Population Registration Act of
1950.
 It is a policy that governed relations between South Africa’s
white minority and nonwhite majority and sanctioned racial
segregation and political and economic discrimination against
nonwhites.

4.  Apartheid is a system of racial segregation enforced through
legislation by the National Party governments, who were the ruling
party from 1948 to 1994, of South Africa, under which the rights of
the majority black inhabitants of south Africa were curtailed and
white supremacy and Afrikaner minority rule was maintained.
People in South Africa were segregated into categories of white,
black, colored, Indian or Asian. Blacks were deprived of their
citizenship. There were separate schools, buses, shops, and
hospitals for blacks and colored people and the services Available
were well under the standard provided for the minority whites.
Nelson Mandela and people such as Ahmed Kathrada fought long
and hard against this discrimination. From 1948 until early 1994
Apartheid was made law in South Africa, even though it is
considered to have been a violation of international law. The idea of
'grand apartheid' was essentially one of political separation, while
petty apartheid had more to do with segregation.

5.  The area of the study is at Cape town, South Africa. Cape
Town was a troubled nation for a very long time. In 1652,
Dutch occupied the Table Bay, now known as Cape Town. The
Dutch (Boers) saw this land as a place they could settle in, but
the invasion of Britain from around 1795, eventually led to
what were known as the Boer wars (1899 and 1902). IN 1902,
The British took control of the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal and created the Union of south Africa. The South
Africa Act established an all-White form of governance that
unofficially segregated blacks and other ethnic groups.

6.  Nelson Mandela joined the African National Congress in 1994.
 Was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party’s
apartheid policies after 1948.
 Went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted in
1961.
 After the banning of ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for
the setting up of a military wing within the ANC.
 In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the
use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who
wished to involve themselves in Mandela’s campaign would not
be stopped doing so by the ANC.

7.  He was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years imprisonment
with hard labor.
 In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we
Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them
for plotting to overthrow the government by violence.
 After he was released on February 11, 1990 he plunged himself
wholeheartedly into his life’s work, striving to attain the goals he
and others had set out almost four decades earlier which is to stop
the separation of whites and blacks.

8. Nelson Mandela made a big difference in the lives of people in
South Africa. He made the most of opportunities he was given
and had great determination to bring freedom and peace back to
all South Africans. He changed a country and freed a nation.
Recommendation:
Our recommendation is to look at the leadership style of Nelson
Mandela for answers to these troubling challenges. After 27
years of incarceration on Robben Island, hard labor and
mistreatment at the hands of his white prison guards, Mandela
became the first black President of South Africa and abandoned
apartheid. The courage, vision and fortitude of this man are
legend. But today, we would like to look at four of Nelson
Mandela’s leadership skills and provide a compelling argument
for why the world needs these leadership skills today.
