Tell me your life?


I was born on July 18, 1918 in the royal family of thembu, a tribe that
lived in a fertile valley in the Eastern Cape. Politics begins to play a
very significant role in my life. Moved by the humiliation and suffering
of the tour people and offended by the increasingly unjust and
intolerable laws in 1944 I Walter Sisulu And Oliver Tambo and
together with others formed the anc youth league within a few years I
became a president. I got married to Winnie the same year. In 1962 I
was again arrested for high treason and sentenced to five years in

What is the most important event in your life?

when i received the nobel prize i said we are here today as mere
representatives of millions of people around the world, the anti-

of its peoples, but to oppose the inhuman system and commit to a
quick end to the crimes against humanity caused by apartheid. When
this time comes, we will rejoice together in a common victory against
racism, apartheid and white rule. He had the courage to admit that a
terrible mistake had been made for our country, and for the people,
with the imposition of the apartheid system. We hear the rumors that
there is an appeal from the many, scattered throughout the universe,
who want an end to the apartheid system.
