Tata Madiba was a man that belonged
to the world, to Africa, and most
importantly, to South Africa the
nation, for which he gave a greater
part of his life, fghting for freedom,
so that generations to come may live
out their dreams as free beings. It is
this freedom that has allowed for the
continuous improvement of education
in our nation. Here is a summary of
Tatas Education journey, in the hope
that it will both inspire and challenge
us to press forward for greater heights
in terms of Education.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a well-
educated man. He was a great believer
in education and life-long learning.
He attended Primary school in Qunu,
completed his Junior Certifcate at
Clarkebury Boarding Institute, and
went on to Healdtown, a Wesleyan
secondary school of some repute,
where he matriculated.
Nelson Mandela began his studies
for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the
University of Fort Hare but did not
complete the degree there as he was
expelled for joining in a student protest.
He completed his BA degree through
the University of South Africa, and went
back to Fort Hare for
his graduation in 1943.
He then also began
studying for a
Bachelor in Law (LLB)
at the University of the
Witwatersrand, but
by his own admission,
he was a poor student
and left the university
in 1952 without
graduating. He only
started studying again
through the University of London after
his imprisonment in 1962, but also did
not complete that degree.
Mr. Mandela studied law on and of
for 50 years since 1939, failing about
half the courses he took. A two-year
diploma in Law, in addition to his
undergraduate university degree (BA),
allowed Nelson Mandela to practice
law, and in August 1952, he and Oliver
Tambo established South Africas frst
black law frm, Mandela and Tambo in
Soweto, Johannesburg. He persevered
to fnally secure a law degree while in
prison in 1989.
For Madiba, one of the most
important things is for every person
to be educated: Education is the great
engine of personal development. It is
through education that the daughter
of a peasant can become a doctor, that
the son of a mineworker can become
the head of the mine, that a child of
farm workers can become the president
of a great nation. It is what we make
out of what we have, not what we are
given, that separates one person from
another.
With this, we say together with the rest
of the nation, Africa and the world
Hamba Kahle, Tata.
EDUCATION IS THE MOST
POWERFUL WEAPON WHICH
YOU CAN USE TO
CHANGE THE
WORLD
