Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, better known as Nelson Mandela, was

born on 18 July 1918 in South Africa. He was called "Rolihlahla" in
his native language (Xhosa), which means "troublemaker". One of 13
brothers and sisters, he was the first to go to school. From childhood,
he was a victim of white oppression as his teacher renamed him
"Nelson", a British first name because the whites did not want to use
an African first name. Belonging to the Madiba clan of Thembu, he
was brought up to become an adviser to the prince, like his father.

But his father died when he was 9 and he moved with his mother to
another village where there were more Europeans. He explains that it
was at this point that he really became aware of the oppression of
whites over blacks. At the age of 16, he no longer considered whites to
be his friends, believing that they were too violent towards blacks.

In 1939, he entered Fort Hare University, the only university reserved

for blacks. There he met many people who would later influence his
life and help to develop his interest in politics and his desire for justice
and equality. He began to study art, but was expelled from the
university for not respecting the racist rules separating blacks and
whites.

He returned to his native village but decided to flee with his brother to
escape a forced marriage. He went to Johannesburg where he did odd
jobs.
In 1943, he finally decided to start a law degree at the prestigious
University of the Witwatersrand, where he met many future anti-
apartheid activists there.
In 1944 he married Evelyn Mase; they will have four children. He
works as a young clerk in apprenticeship in a white law firm in
Johannesburg. Then in 1951, he opened the first law firm run by
blacks
