　　Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela(1918-)

　　Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born on 18 July 1918 in the small village of Mvezo, on the Mbashe River, district of Umtata in Transkei, South Africa. His Father named him Rolihlahla, which means "pulling the branch of the tree", or more colloquially "troublemaker." The name Nelson was not given until his first day at school.

　　Nelson Mandela&aposs father, Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa, was the chi "by blood and custom" of Mvezo, a position confirmed by the paramount chi of the Thembu, Jongintaba Dalindyebo.

　　Although the family is descended from Thembu royalty (one of Mandela&aposs ancestors was paramount chi in the 18th century) the line had passed down to Mandela through lesser &aposHouses&apos, rather than through a line of potential succession. The clan name of Madiba, which is often used as a form of address for Mandela, comes from the ancestral chi.

　　In 1962 Nelson Mandela was smuggled out of South Africa. He first attended and addressed the conference of African nationalist leaders, the Pan-African Freedom Movement, in Addis Ababa.

　　From there he went to Algeria to undergo guerrilla training, and then flew to London to catch up with Oliver Tambo (and also to meet members of the British parliamentary opposition). On his return to South Africa, Mandela was arrested and sentenced to five years for "incitement and illegally leaving the country".

　　At the end of his four hour statement to the court Nelson Mandela stated: "During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."

　　曼德拉(1918-)

　　纳尔逊·罗利赫拉赫拉·曼德拉( Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela )1918年7月18日出生于南非特兰斯凯一个大酋长家庭，先后获南非大学文学士和威特沃特斯兰德大学律师资格，当过律师。曼德拉自幼性格刚强，崇敬民族英雄。他是家中长子而被指定为酋长继承人。但他表示：“决不愿以酋长身份统治一个受压迫的部族”，而要“以一个战士的名义投身于民族解放事业”。他毅然走上了追求民族解放的道路。

　　1944年他参加南非非洲人国民大会(简称非国大)。1948年当选为非国大青年联盟全国书记，1950年任非国大青年联盟全国主席。1952年先后任非国大执委、德兰士瓦省主席、全国副主席。同年年底，他成功地组织并领导了“蔑视不公正法令运动”，赢得了全体黑人的尊敬。为此，南非当局曾两次发出不准他参加公众集会的禁令。

　　1961年6月曼德拉创建非国大军事组织“民族之矛”，任总司令。1962年8月，曼德拉被捕入狱，当时他年仅43岁，南非政府以政治煽动和非法越境罪判处他5年监禁。1964年6月，他又被指控犯有以阴谋颠覆罪而改判为无期徒刑，从此开始了漫长的铁窗生涯，在狱中长达27个春秋，他备受迫害和折磨，但始终坚贞不屈。1990年2月11日，南非当局在国内外舆论压力下，被迫宣布无条件释放曼德拉。同年3月，他被非国大全国执委任命为副主席、代行主席职务，1991年7月当选为主席。1994年4月，非国大在南非首次不分种族的大选中获胜。同年5月，曼德拉成为南非第一位黑人总统。1997年12月，曼德拉辞去非国大主席一职，并表示不再参加1999年6月的总统竞选。1999年6月正式去职。
