Reading
Read the text and write T for True, F for False.Nelson Mandela was a legend in his own lifetime, so it
comes as no surprise that the interest in his life and achievements has soared
since his death in December 2013. Who was the man who evokes so many emotions
and still inspires people?
He was born Rolihlahla Mandela in 1918. He was given
the name Nelson only when he started his primary school, where all the children
received Christian names. His father died when the boy was only 12. He had
always dreamt, like his dad, that one day all people in Africa would become
equal. He was a hard-working student and if it hadn`t been for the fact that he
was expelled from his university for taking part in a protest, he would have
graduated much earlier than he did in the end.
His involvement in politics and anti-white majority protests finally led to
his life imprisonment in 1964. Luckily for him, the times changed and he did
not spend the rest of his life behind bars but was released in 1990. Four years
later, he won the Nobel Peace Prize and became South Africa`s first democratically
elected President.
