CASE STUDY: “I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.” -Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom Nelson Mandela grew up in the Transkei area of South Africa as a member of royalty within the Xhosa tribe. He was groomed to counsel the rulers of the tribe.

But Mandela chose not to follow his predetermined path; instead, he left the Transkei after completing his second year of studies at Fort Hare University, and moved to Johannesburg, where he joined the African National Congress (ANC). His education continued, and his struggle for freedom began. Nelson Mandela remains one of the world 's most revered statesmen, and led the struggle to replace the apartheid regime of South Africa with a multi-racial democracy . He has spent his entire life, including 27 years in prison, fighting for social justice. He discovered the importance of education as a tool for understanding the history and culture of his own people, and of other groups . Retaining a lifelong thirst for education and knowledge, he completed his law degree while in jail, and continued to study through his years of imprisonment on Robben Island. Mandela was also instrumental in encouraging fellow political prisoners to continue their education - so much so that warders would sometimes refer to his prison block as 'Mandela University'. Despite many years in jail, he emerged to become South Africa's first black president and to play a leading role in the drive for peace in other spheres of conflict. He showed true statesmanship by reaching out a reconciliatory hand to his oppressors. In 1993, together with his presidential predecessor, F. W. de Klerk, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. From his early days observing tribal politics, Nelson Mandela learned that listening is often more important than talking. Having learned this skill, he gained a reputation as someone who could hear and be open to differing points of view, but at the same time maintain an unwavering commitment to his belie fs. 'Often, my own opinion will simply represent a consensus of what I heard in the discussion ... a leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the floc k, letting the nimblest go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.’ Mandela stepped down as president after the ANC’s landslide victory in 1999, and Thabo Mbeki became the second democratically elected president of South Africa. Since then, Mandela has become South Africa's highest profile ambassador, campaigning for HIV/AIDS initiatives and securing his country's right to host the 2010 soccer World Cup. Former US president Bill Clinton is one of his many admirer s, stating: 'Every time Nelson Mandela walks into a room we all feel a little bigger, we all want to stand up , we all want to cheer, because we'd like to be him on our best day'. Answer all the questions. Each question carries 6 Marks. 1. Which leadership has been demonstrated by Nelson Mandela and what are his leadership characteristics? 2. How did Nelson Mandela’s leadership role change as his circumstances changed? 3. Why is Nelson Mandela so admired as a leader? How is he similar to or different from other world leaders?
