A very good morning to one and all present here. Today, I will be giving a short speech on the topic of Nelson Mandela.
It is impossible to have not heard of Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa. Referred to as the �Gandhi of South Africa�, Mandela was known for being an acclaimed social activist for anti-apartheid and a known politician in South Africa, raising his voice against the oppressed.
Serving as president between the years 1994-1999, he was beloved by the people. Mandela, in fact, according to Wikipedia, was �the country’s first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.�
Considered to be the father of Modern South Africa, Mandela received the Nobel Peace Prize in the year 1993.
�Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again,� said Nelson Mandela. Let us be as perseverent and resilient as this great man and succeed in life.
Thank you.
