Nelson Mandela is born in 1981 and is President of South Africa between 1994 and 1999. His election is the first one involving a complete electoral vote of the entire adult South African population. Mandela becomes political as soon as the Afrikaner-dominated national party is elected in 1948 and imposes apartheid policies. Due to non-aggressive anti-apartheid activities earlier in his life, Mandela is charged or a number of crimes and imprisoned for twenty-seven years.
