Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013)[3] was a South African politician. He was the first President of Africa elected in a fully represented democratic election on 27 April 1994. Mandela was also the first black President of his country.
His government focused on throwing out the legacy of apartheid by ending racism, poverty, inequality, and to bring up racial understanding in South Africa. Politically a believer in socialism, he served as the President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1991 to 1997. Internationally, Mandela was the Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999.
Mandela received more than 250 honors, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Soviet Order of Lenin. He is often referred to by his Xhosa clan name, Madiba, or as Tata ("Father").
