Nelson Rohilahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. His
father was Hendry Mphakanyiswa of the Tembu Tribe. Mandela himself was educated at
University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand where he studied law.
He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the
ruling National Partys apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-
1961 and was acquitted in 1961.
After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a
military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on
the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves
in Mandelas campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the
formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe.
Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years imprisonment with hard
labor. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were
arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the
government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international
publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life
imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape
Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmor Prison, nearby on the mainland.

Nelson Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. After his release, he plunged
