3. "No one in my family had ever attended school [...]
On the first day of school my teacher, Miss
Mdingane, gave each of us an English name. This
was the custom among Africans in those days and
was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our
education. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that
my new name was Nelson. Why this particular
name I have no idea.”
— Mandela, 1994
