TRANSCRIPT Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela began his life handling sheep and cattle in the Golden Hills of South Africas Easton Cape. In his autobiography, part of which was written secretly while in prison Mandela wrote: I was not born with a hunger to be free. I was born free. Free in every way that I could know. Free to run in the fields near my mothers heart, free to swim in the clear stream that ran through my village, free to roast meals under the stars and ride the broad backs of bulls. It was only when I began to learn that my boyhood freedom was an illusion when I discovered as a young man that my freedom had already been taken from her that I began to hunger for it. Nelson Mandelas given name was Rolihlahla literally means tugging at the branches of a tree but at school he was given the name of another famous leader. So henceforth he will be known to the world as Nelson Mandela. As the son of a chief Nelson Mandela had access to the best education available to black people in South Africa at the time. Studying at Fort Hare University, where he first became involved in student protests. His refusal to accept injustice, unfairness and inequality would last a lifetime. In his early twenties Nelson Mandela moved to Johannesburg where he first encountered the racial discrimination that would later become entrenched in law by the apartheid government. Working on the mines and later as a clerk in a law firm Mandela pursued his law studies and joined the African National Congress, the oldest black political organisation in South Africa. In 1948 the Nationalist Government was voted into power by the white electorate in South Africa and the battle lines were clearly drawn. In 1955 the ANC and other organisations called upon people of all races to gather in Kliptown to approve the Freedom Charter, a blueprint for a free, democratic and multiracial South Africa, in which all races would be treated equally. Nelson Mandela, one of the chief organisers of the gathering, was banned by the government from attending and was forced to watch proceedings from the sidelines. In 1956 the organisers of the Freedom Charter and other leaders in the Congress movement were charged with high treason. The trial was specifically designed to occupy the opposition and keep them out of politics. It dragged on for four and a half years. And it would be another forty years before the Freedom Charter finally bore fruit. South Africa, 1960 Sharpeville- A Black Township in the industrial area south of Johannesburg a peaceful crowd gathered to protest against the bus laws was shot at by police. Sixty-nine people died. The nationalist government imposed martial law.

All opposition was banned and thousands were jailed. when it became clear that all means of peaceful negotiation had been exhausted, Mandela went underground to lead the armed struggle. Key government installations were targeted for sabotage. Mandela became known as the Black Pimpernel. In 1962 Mandela was captured charged with leaving the country illegally and sentenced to imprisonment for five years. Shortly afterwards his ANC comrades were captured with evidence which incriminated Mandela. He returned to court for the tribunal trial where he and eight others faced a possible death penalty. When Nelson Mandela and several of his colleagues were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964, the political conflict was sent to Robben Island, the bleak island prison off the Western Cape coast. Nelson Mandela was 45 years old when he became prisoner number 466 of 1964. He would be in his early seventies before he would again be a free man. Forced to perform futile hard labour in a lime quarry the prisoners refused to be broken. Far from being diminished, Mandela's moral leadership and stature continued to grow while he was in prison. His young wife Winnie continued to be an inspiration to the struggle. Power to the people. But the struggle against apartheid would continue for another quarter-century. While Nelson Mandela and his coaccused served life sentences on Robben island, other leaders of all races and in all spheres campaigned for change. Many faced imprisonment or exile and around the world ordinary people showed their horror of apartheid and their support for the struggle. The purpose, friends, of this is for the people of Britain to register on the widest possible scale their passionate protest against an evil and repulsive doctrine which says that a man's legal status, a man's political rights,a man's economic opportunities, a man's social position shall depend solely upon the colour of his skin. But in 1976 Soweto's school children marched in protest and townships around the country erupted in violence. It was the beginning of the end to apartheid but the struggle dragged on for more than a decades the African nationalistic government clang to power. In the late 1980s amid a tide of world pressure the South African government was forced to accept the inevitable and began dismantling apartheid. In 1990 at the age of 71 Mandela was released unconditionally. After leading negotiations for a new South Africa Nelson Mandela cast his vote in the first free and democratic elections and became the country's first black president. For the duration of his presidential term and throughout what should have been a well-earned retirement he has worked tirelessly to entrench the ideals he had so long stood for becoming universally revered as an icon of leadership and humanity.

But in his retirement from retirement Nelson Mandela has continued to give his support and generosity in countless ways creating an enduring legacy through the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the 46664 campaign. Through 46664 he continues to lend the full force of his extraordinary talent, intellect and heart to a problem that faces not only his own country but the world at large.
