1. NELSON MANDELA
Nelson Mandela is one of a kind man. He spent most of his lifefighting against apartheid(this
was a system in South Africa that did not allowed black people to live like white people, because they
had almost none rights). Also Nelson had been in prison for quite many years just because he fought
for freedom of black people.
Nelson Mandela is tall and slim. He has wrinkled face and short gray hair. His small dark
brown eyes and thin lips under his big nose really make his face special. After the victory against
apartheid Nelson became the first black African president of South Africa so he usually wore smart
clothes and sometimes a tie. On many pictures he is wearing perfectly ironed shirt and nice trousers.
As for his character Nelson is very patient and persistent otherwise he would never
succeeded in freeing his fellow Africans. He is also very smart and educated. He qualified in law in the
University of Witwatersrand.
He was married three times, first with Evelyn NtokoMase. He was with her for 13 years and
they had 4 children two sons and two daughters. Then his second wife was Winnie Madikizela-
Mandela, with her he had two daughters and finally his third wife GraçaMachel Simbine, widow
of SamoraMachel, the former Mozambican president. As you can see he really liked women.
He retired in 1999. After that he started many social and human rights organizations. Nelson
Mandela will be forever remembered for what he has done in South Africa.
