Nelson Mandela was a legend in his own lifetime, so it comes as no surprise that the interest in his life and achievements has soared since his death in December 2013. Who was the man that evokes so many emotions and still inspires people?

He was born Rolihlahla Mandela in 1918. He was given the name Nelson only when he started his primary school, where all the children received Christian names. His father died when the boy was only 12. He had always dreamt, like his dad, that one day all people in Africa would become equal. He was a hard-working student and if it hadn`t been for the fact that he was expelled from his university for taking part in a protest, he would have graduated much earlier than he did in the end.

His involvement in politics and anti-white majority protests finally led to his life imprisonment in 1964. Luckily for him, the times changed and he did not spend the rest of his life behind bars but was released in 1990. Four years later, he won the Nobel Peace Prize and became South Africa`s first democratically elected President.
