Nelson Mandela: His Life And Legacy Former South Africa President Nelson Mandela, one of the 20th century's iconic symbols of freedom and equality, has died at 95. This is a look back into his extraordinary life. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century. The mammoth task of leading a transition from a country divided by centuries of violence and race into a state that served as an example to others was always going to need a special breed of leader. It found one. His name was Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, and he is no more. Though his end was long drawn out and expected, the loss of so colossal a figure still sent a shock through the nation. In the continent’s history there has not been anyone so universally recognised and admired. His personal stature, unmistakable presence and charisma were the reason the country, firmly planted at the foot of Africa, could extend its influence to the rest of the world. The deft hand with which he led South Africa towards united statehood did not go unnoticed. Inevitably, the discussion over his legacy shall begin in earnest. Much has already been said and written about him, but such titanic influencers of humanity never cease to be a talking point. The meaning of Mandela is likely to be debated for generations to come.
