Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. I admire him because he was the country's first black and he not afraid of the reproaches head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid by tackling institutionalised racism and fostering racial reconciliation. He fought for human rights, and it stayed for 27 years in tyurme. Also, this person is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
