About Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader, and philanthropist who served as the country's first black president from 1994 to 1999. Born on July 18, 1918, in the Eastern Cape, he became a prominent figure in the struggle against racial oppression, spending 27 years in prison for his activism. After his release in 1990, Mandela played a crucial role in dismantling apartheid and fostering reconciliation in South Africa, earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for his efforts.
