Nelson Mandela was a South African activist and politician who led the anti-apartheid movements and who, after a long struggle and 27 years in prison, presided over the first government to put an end to the racist regime in 1994. The 20th century left two world wars, the death camps and atomic terror, but also great champions of the fight against injustice, such as Mahatma Gandhi or Martin Luther King. The last of them was Nelson Mandela.
Both Walter Sisulu and the countless people who had contact with Mandela throughout his life coincide in pointing out his extraordinary personality. The power of seduction, self-confidence, work capacity, courage and integrity are among the virtues for which he shone wherever he went. Sisulu immediately captured his innate leadership gifts and brought him into the African National Congress (ANC), a movement to fight the oppression that black South Africans had suffered for decades. Soon his qualities would place him in prominent positions in the organization. In 1944, Mandela was one of the founding leaders of the Congress Youth League, which would become the dominant group in the African National Congress; its ideology was an African socialism: nationalist, anti-racist and anti-imperialist.
In 1948 the National Party came to power in South Africa, institutionalizing racial segregation by creating the apartheid regime. In fact, institutional racism in South Africa dated back to at least 1911, the date of a discriminatory provision that prohibited blacks from holding skilled jobs. Numerous measures enacted in the following decades (thirty-six in total) had already led, to give a single example, to the exclusion of blacks and mestizos from the electoral roll.
