Nelson Mandela: 1918-2013
South Africa’s first black president dies at 95
Nelson Mandela was the president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.
A nation mourns the loss of its former leader, Nelson Mandela, who has died after a long illness. He was 95.
Jacob Zuma, South Africa's president, announced Mandela's death at a news conference. "We've lost our greatest son," Zuma said.
Mandela was known for ending apartheid, a system that separated whites from nonwhites in South Africa. After spending 27 years in prison for fighting against racial inequality, he became the country’s first democratically elected president. “I think he’s a hero for the world,” said President Barack Obama in a speech during his visit to Senegal in June.
Yes, he is a very famous man who wanted peace
