Nelson Mandela as
South Africa’s President
On 10 May 1994, he was
inaugurated as South Africa’s first democratically elected President. On his
80th birthday in 1998 he married Graça Machel, his third wife.
True to his promise,
Mandela stepped down in 1999 after one term as President. He continued to work
with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund he set up in 1995 and established the
Nelson Mandela Foundation and The Mandela Rhodes Foundation.
In April 2007 his
grandson, Mandla Mandela, was installed as head of the Mvezo Traditional
Council at a ceremony at the Mvezo Great Place.
Nelson Mandela never
wavered in his devotion to democracy, equality, and learning. Despite terrible
provocation, he never answered racism with racism. His life is an inspiration
to all who are oppressed and deprived, and to all who are opposed to oppression
and deprivation.
He died at his home
in Johannesburg on 5 December 2013.
