Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader, and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. Born in 1918, he became a symbol of resistance against the brutal system of apartheid, which institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa. Mandela spent 27 years in prison for his activism before his release in 1990. His leadership and commitment to peace and reconciliation helped lead South Africa to its first democratic elections, ending apartheid. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for his efforts to dismantle apartheid and establish multiracial elections. Mandela's legacy is one of resilience, justice, and the pursuit of equality.
