Nelson Mandela Now Recuperating

 Nelson Mandela on his 90th birthday in Johannesburg, South Africa, in May 2008
South Africa is in a happy state of mind at the moment at least. Nelson Mandela appears to be recuperating in a hospital, and has just celebrated his 95th birthday in a Pretoria hospital. Nelson Mandela, one of the famous icons of modern History, organized non-violence protest action against apartheid in South Africa. He was imprisoned for 27 years, first on Robben Island and later in Pollsmoor Prison and then Victor Verster Prison. He was released in 1990, after which he became South Africa’s president.
Mandela changed people especially the indigenous Africans by convincing the government to abolish the apartheid laws. This allowed equal things for all races of people in Africa. Mandela changed the way the world thinks about different races being treated by changing the Apartheid laws when he became president of South Africa in 1994.
