Mandela: The man who saved South Africa

Nelson Mandela was the glowing beacon of hope, shining across South Africa and the world, whose 27 years in jail left him without a trace of bitterness or hatred against those who practised the evil of apartheid.

From his prison cell, the man who was to become president of his beloved South Africa, did more than any person alive to end this scourge and to bring about black majority rule in his country.
