​ Nelson Mandela
Long Walk to Freedom

Introduction :
This chapter is an extract from Mandela's autobiography ' Long Walk to Freedom'. It
provides us a glimpse of the early life of Nelson Mandela, his education, thirty years in
prison and the pains he had suffered in his young age. It also recounts his fight for the
freedom of his own people who were tortured by the whites.

Summary:

Nelson Mandela, the first Black president of South Africa, after more than 3 centuries of
white rule, celebrated very vividly the grand ceremony of the first democratic non-racial
government. Being sworn in, he said radiantly that “Never, never again shall it be that
this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another”. He pays
homage to the freedom fighters like Oliver Tambo, Luthuli, Yusuf Dadoo. They were
men of uncommon courage, wisdom and generosity. He regards the death of thousands
of people who sacrificed their lives for the cause of courage. It is not the absence of
fear but the victory over it. No man is born with harassment rather love which comes
natural to the human heart. He says every man has his duties to his family, to the
community and to his country to perform honestly.
