Introduction to Book
Young Mandela enjoyed physical activities like stick fighting and was an introvert. He became the first in his family to attend school, sparking his lifelong dedication to learning. The village school focused solely on British history, culture, and institutions, so Mandela learned about his people’s history from elders. Given an anglicized name, Nelson, by his teacher Miss Mdigane, Mandela diligently completed his junior certificate in two years at Healdtown College. Moving to Fort Hare College in 1937, he studied various subjects. At Fort Hare, Mandela challenged authority by forming a House Committee for freshmen representation. Successful initially, he faced expulsion in his second year for supporting a student boycott. After leaving Fort Hare, he moved to Johannesburg to find a job. |
