Nelson Mandela was in 1993 awarded the Nobel peace. In 1918 he was born, his father named him Holyshash. Which means something like troublemaker or sigh of things to come. He grew up in a English speaking boarding school that's where he got the name Nelson. In 1962 he was arrested because he didn't listen to the government, he was sentenced to life in prison. In 1990 new president Frederic De Klerk set Nelson free. So he spent 27 years in prison four years later Nelson Mandela ran for office in the country’s first democratic election and was voted in as South Africa's very first black president. After his death in 2013 December 5 there still kept peace in Africa and all around the world.
