Seek: Leader I Admire The Most
Greetings, ladies and gentleman. For the this entry, I want to share my opinions/thoughts about on the leader I admire the most. It is "Nelson Mandela'' or as his clan called him "Madiba".
Nelson Mandela (Madiba)
He was born 18 July 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa. He was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. Before he was President, he served 27 years in prison for conspiring to overthrow a state and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Rivonia Trial.
In Prison
He then was released in 1990 by President F. W. de Klerk due to amid growing domestic and international pressure, and with fears of a racial civil war. In 1994, Both of them negotiated to end the apartheid and organised the 1994 multiracial general election. By winning this election, he became the First Black President in South Africa.

Some people thought of him as a Communist/Terrorist due to his determination to end the racism occur in South Africa. He also fought for the poverty and HIV/AIDS through the charitable Nelson Mandela Foundation. Somehow he successfully open the eyes of others and gained international acclaim for his activism. H then received more than 250 honours including the Nobel Peace Prize and became the subject of a cult of personality. He is held in deep respect within South Africa, where he is often referred to by his Xhosa clan name, "Madiba", and described as the "Father of the Nation".
Personally for me, he is not a communist or terrorist but he is an extremist for hunger for justice and human rights which is the only thing that makes us human.
Have a nice day.
