Major Events • • What did Nelson Mandela do that was so special? Nelson freed the Africans from the Dutch Soldiers. Mandela only used words NOT war. In 1993 Nelson Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize. Nelson Mandelas African name is “Rolihlahla” which is also the name of his role model. Nelson has left us with the fact that we do not need war! We can fight with words and not harm one another! In my opinion it will be hard to find a new president that can take this role as a peace maker.

Mandela’s Life Nelson Mandela fought for the freedom of black Africans from the Dutch soldiers. Mandela was imprisoned for telling the South Africans to strike and illegally leave South Africa. He went to jail for 27 years. He was imprisoned from 1962 to 1990. Nelson became South Africa’s president in 1994 and retired in 1999. Mandela recently died. Mandela had 6 children and Mandela also had 3 wives. Mandela was released due to a civil strike! The Africans would not stop until justice was served. Four years later he became president. FUN FACTS: 1. A wood pecker was named after Mandela. 2. He was on the USA terror list until 2008 (age 89)
