A Leader Is Born

The world is filled with people of diverse

backgrounds. People around the world look different.

They have different ideas. They come from different

places. But people are alike in many ways, too. And

every human being deserves fair and equal treatment.

There are many people in this world who stand up for

this idea.

Nelson Mandela is one of those people. He fought

for equality . He believed people can live in peace

even if they are different. Mandela worked hard to

make South Africa a

fair place. He never

gave up, even in the

worst of times. With

the help of others, he

built a democracy .

Today, he is known

as the Father of South

African Freedom.

Who is Nelson Mandela?

How did he bring

freedom to his country?

Why does he inspire so

many people today?

A Young African

Mandela was born on July 18, 1918. He lived in

the small village of Qunu. As a young boy, he helped

his parents with chores. He was the first in his family

to attend school.

The land Mandelas family lived on was owned

by the state. White people made laws in South

Africa. Africans could not own land. But there were

few white people in Qunu. As a child, Mandela knew

very little about the relations between white and

black people.

Try This

The village name Qunu comes from a

traditional African language. To say the

word, place the tip of your tongue right

behind your teeth at the top of your mouth.

Keep your mouth round and draw your

tongue down quickly to make a click sound.

The rest of the word is pronounced oo-noo .

As a child, Mandela liked

building toy animals out

of clay. He even used

tree branches to make

an ox pulling a sleigh.

Mandelas

South Africa

South Africa is a country of many different

people and cultures. Africans are the biggest

group of people. There are also many

minority groups, including Khoisan, Indians,

whites, and people of mixed race.

A Man of

How many names do you have?

Most people have a first name,

a middle name, and a last name.

Sometimes, we have nicknames,

too. Nelson Mandela is a man of many

names. Each of his names has a unique

meaning and a story to go with it.

Many Names

Madiba

Mandela is a member of the

Madiba clan. In Africa, it is polite

to call a person by his or her

clan name. Using this name tells

others of Mandelas ancestry.

Dalibhunga

Aaah! Dalibhunga, people say to

Mandela in greeting. He was given

this name at the age of 16, when he

became a man. The name means

creator or founder of the council.

Rolihlahla

Nelson

Tata

Khulu

Mandelas father gave him the name

Rolihlahla at birth. It means to pull a

branch from a tree. Others translate

the name as troublemaker. Despite

his name, Mandela was a kind and

obedient child.

A teacher gave Nelson this

name on the first day of

school. It was common for

teachers to give the children
