14. Now let me introduce you to someone who was not just famous in Africa but admired by the whole world… Can you guess who it is?

15. Nelson Mandela was born in 1918 in South Africa where laws limited the rights of black people. When he grew up, Nelson Mandela became their voice. He was sent to prison by the white South African government and spent twenty-seven years on a lonely island. After his release from prison, Nelson Mandela became South Africa's first black president. He was respected around the world for his wisdom and kindness. No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

16. Didier Drogba, plays football for Chelsea. Born in the Ivory Coast. John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, Born in Uganda. Alek Wek, model. Born in Sudan. Here are some other famous people you might know who were born in Africa. Do you know their names?
