Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid is the separation of blacks and mixed individuals, from white people. Apartheid was the policy of the government of South Africa in the years 1948 to 1994. Nelson Mandela is a hero because he fought for Africas unity and liberation. He is an inspirational man. He was thrown in jail and treated badly by the white men. He had great reason to be angry with them. They indeed deserved revenge. Mandela had a different way of handling the Apartheid situation. Mandela refused to use violence as the answer to gain freedom for his people. he was a man of peace. Nelson Mandela was also very fair too. For instance, as much as he hated the Apartheid, he never hated South Africans.If I was Nelson Mandela, I would hate the Apartheid and the South Africans. Mandela and I are obviously very different. Using this approach and many others, Mandela was  able to gain freedom for his people. Mandela is so admired by the authors of these sites. One man stated that Mandelas face was tired, but when he spoke, his voice was strong. Many South Africans have given him an amount of respect that people in superiority only wish they could have. Nelson Mandela was a great man.
