Summary
This is an extract taken from the autobiography of Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom. Nelson Mandela was the first black President of South Africa after three hundred years of rule of the white. His party won 252 seats out of 400 in the first democratic elections in South Africa’s history. In an inauguration ceremony, Nelson Mandela said, “Never, never again will this beautiful land experience the oppression of one by another.” Nelson Mandela spent their whole life continuously fighting against the white rule. He was congratulated by several dignitaries and world leaders before the inauguration. It was the largest gathering ever made of international leaders on the soil of South Africa. Mr. de Klerk was first sworn in as the second Deputy President preceded by Thabo Mabeki as first Deputy President and ultimately Nelson Mandela was sworn as the First Black President of South Africa.
On his occasion, an array of South Africa jets, helicopters, and troop carry displayed the military force of South Africa. On this special day, the white and the black both sung their respective national anthems. This day was considered as a memorable day in the history of South Africa because of the numberless sacrifices of the people. According to Nelson Mandela, the greatest wealth of his country is its people like Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Chief Luthuli's, and some others. He learned from these people that courage was not the absence of fear but the triumph over it.
No person is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. So people must learn how to love others. Every human has two obligations; the first one towards his family and the second one for his country. But in his type of country like South Africa, it was completely difficult for a person to fulfill bout these obligations. Nelson Mandela felt that he was born free as he was not born with the hunger to be free. But in his childhood, he found his freedom as an illusion for him. Today the desire for freedom was not confined to Nelson Mandela only but to all the Africans. Freedom cannot be divided, the chains on any one of his people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of his people were the chains of him. The person who snatched another person’s freedom is always locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow mindedness. As he is a prisoner of hatred. A person can be called free when he respects another person’s freedom with the same degree as he deserved for himself.
