Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

The word apartheid in my own words mean a social policy that doesn't let any other race except for white people to be involve in any kind of political and economic stuff of the country. Nelson Mandela was consider a hero in South Africa because he stop racism in there. The authors of these articles admire him because he didn't hate white people or any other kind he hated the government. He was the done who stopped racism and dream that all the race will live together in peace.

But after knowing that England doesn't have that much power two of the most famous Africans leaders took control. This two leaders name Nelson Mandela and Jomo Kenyatta. This two this two leaders help Africa get its independence. After Africa gain its independence some of its countries renamed themselves. Like for example the country "Rhodesia" was renamed as Zimbabwe.
