Has 92 years, but the collective image people have of him is still the strong leader. Nelson Mandela's resume is almost as large as the number of fans: former president, an anti-apartheid icon, Nobel Peace Prize, among others. However, Zenani Mandela Dlamini, the daughter of South African symbol, reveals that his father, above all, would like to be remembered as a family man.
"My father, I think, would love to be remembered as a family man, as a person who did manage to change the mind of a person. " Zenani adds: "My father did not stop to think about who you are, just a normal human being" In January, Mandela was hospitalized in Johannesburg, South Africa's capital, due to a respiratory infection.
Now recovering at home. Doctors say they are happy with their progress, a view shared Zenani. "He's doing very well. Is improving slowly, "he says. "He is a man of 92 years so the situation must be taken seriously, but has very good mood, she loves being with his grandchildren and great grandchildren, and has a great sense of humor." Mandela spent 27 years in prison after being convicted of sabotage and attempting to overthrow the government under the former apartheid regime.
He was released in 1990 and in 1994 elected president for four years. Friday was the 21st anniversary of its liberation. Defied the South African white minority rule and led the fight against racial segregation, which drew world attention to the apartheid system that prevailed in the African country.
It became the symbol of the struggle to end this practice and establish racial equality. He recently published his memoirs called Conversations with me. "My grandfather is the icon of icons. Is standing for the humility and peace, "said Dlamini Zaziwe Manasay, one of Mandela's granddaughters.
"I am very happy to be with us after 20 years and be able to share these days with him." Zamaswazi Dlamini, another of his granddaughters, said he would be delighted to convey a sense of compassion and humility of Mandela to their own children. "It says a lot about him having endured 27 years in prison and have come as a humble and forgiving after everything that happened, "he said.
"I am grateful to have seen what happened in this country, the transition, how we have grown ... the mere fact of knowing that my grandfather was part of it and played such an important role makes me very proud." In 1993 Mandela and the then South African President FW de Klerk were awarded the Nobel Prize for his work.
Were 27 years that Nelson Mandela had to spend in prison on Robben Island. Despite the demands for freedom, the South African government turned a deaf ear. The now former president was a prisoner number 466/64, the second figure is that his imprisonment was in the year 1964. During that time, was kept in poor conditions.
