Answer:

Nelson Mandela was an activist against the apartheid system in South Africa and he later became the first black President of South Africa. He was committed to fighting poverty and achieving social justice throughout his life.

Explanation:

Nelson Mandela was an anti-apartheid revolutionary in South Africa who endured 27 years in prison for conspiring to overthrow the South African government when he was a member of the South African Community Party and the militant group called Umkhonto we Sizwe which he co-founded and which led sabotage campaigns against the government's apartheid policies.  He was sentenced in 1962 and released in 1990. He served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was South Africa's first black head of state. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid and fighting systemic racism. He is considered one of the world's foremost icons of democracy and social justice, having received more than 250 awards and recognitions including the Nobel Peace Prize. In South Africa people often refer to Mandela as Madiba, which is his Xhosa clan name. Madiba means "Father of the Nation."
