It’s been 10 years since South Africa lost its first democratic President, Nelson Mandela. Tata Madiba, as he was affectionately known, died at the age of 95 at his Houghton home in Johannesburg. Madiba joined the ANC in 1944 and was elected its Youth League President in 1950.
Together with his comrades, he became enemy number one of the then apartheid government. This saw many of them being exiled and some imprisoned. He was arrested in 1963 and sentenced to life behind bars.
In February 1990, Former President FW de Klerk released Madiba from prison, after serving 27 years. After his release, uTata became the leader of the ANC. On 10 May 1994, Madiba was inaugurated as South Africa’s first democratically elected President.
