NELSON MANDELA Why was he considered a great leader? What events made him a great leader?

Why was Mandela considered a great leader? Devoted his entire life to the of apartheid Determined to see equality amongst all men Committed to seeing a fair democracy in South Africa

Rivonia Trial 1964 At his trial he is quoted as saying – “I have cherished the ideal of democracy and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with great opportunities. It is an idea which I hope to live for and achieve. But, if needs be, it is an idea for which I am prepared to die.“ He was sentenced to life imprisonment for civil disobedience.

Mandela served 18 years in prison. All the while, he worked tirelessly on the cause. His treatment was inhumane but he still refused to negotiate his freedom in exchange for political compromises. Instead, he worked to initiate talks about a meeting between the apartheid government and the African National Council.

World Symbol While in prison Mandela became the world symbol for the anti-apartheid movement because of his tireless devotion to seeing equality amongst all men of South Africa. His release from prison in 1990 was televised around the world.

What events prove that Mandela was a great leader? Mandela became the first black president of South Africa in He became president at a difficult time, during a drastic shift from an apartheid rule to a multicultural democratic society. During his presidency, Mandela was responsible for several historic events that confirmed his greatness as a leader.

National Reconciliation 1. Establish the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate Human Rights violations by both supporters and opponents of apartheid between 1960 and Met with key members of the apartheid regime and emphasized a culture of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Rainbow Country Mandela's government prohibited discrimination against minorities, including whites. One of his key agendas was to ensure no racial retaliation occurred and to portray South Africa as a "rainbow country at peace with itself and the world".

1995 Rugby World Cup One of Mandela's most defining moments of his presidency was during the 1995 Rugby World Cup. He used South Africa's love of sports to foster a unity amongst whites and blacks.

Social Programs The Land Restitution Act of 1994 enables people who had lost their land due to the Natives Land Act to reclaim it. The Land Reform Act of 1996 protected the rights of labour tenants by ensuring they could not be evicted without a court order or if they were over the age of 65. The Labour Relations Act of 1995 promoted the orderly resolution of labour disputes, collective bargaining, and workplace democracy. The Employment Equity Act of 1998 was passed to end workplace discrimination and guarantee affirmative action in the workplace.
