One of the accomplishments of Nelson Mandela would be his Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, where he was noticed for his peaceful nonviolent actions to terminate apartheid in South Africa. He was also the first democraticly elected president in South Africa and became president in 1994, after apartheid was abolished. He lated gave up his position to Mr. Mbeki in 1997, and went around the world to fight for people's right.
People think Nelson Mandela is a very important person who made a change in this world, by thinking about the country he wanted to live in, and thinking, "I don't want to live in a country like this, so I'm going to make a difference."
Mandela was jailed in apartheid-era South Africa because he was a member of the African National Congress. The ANC was a militant, anti-apartheid political party. Mandela was one of the leaders that helped end the apartheid era, and was voted as president by the South African parliament. F. W. de Klerk, the last apartheid era president, also helped end apartheid, and got to be Mandela's Deputy President as a reward.There is NOTHING available online concerning Mandela's presidency. The only information I've ever found was Mandela saying that he *may* have failed his country by ignoring the AIDS epidemic.Fun fact: South Africa has the world's highest AIDS-infected population, with 12% of all citizens being infected.Oh, and apartheid is the South African equivalent of segregation.Need anything more?
For more than 40 years, people inside and outside South Africa protested against the practice of apartheid. Many Black Africans, including Nelson Mandela, were jailed for there opposition to it. The United Nations declared apartheid "A crime against humanity". Many countries cut off trade with South Africa.
The World cup is being held in Johannesburg in South Africa.
