 About Mandela 關(guān)于曼德拉
     Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, and was the first South African president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election. Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). In 1962 he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and other charges, and sentenced to life in prison. Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island. Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela led his party in the negotiations that led to multi-racial democracy in 1994. As president from 1994 to 1999, he frequently gave priority to reconciliation.
     In South Africa, Mandela is often known as Madiba, his Xhosa clan name; or as tata (Xhosa: father). Mandela has received more than 250 awards over four decades, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.
     納爾遜·羅利赫拉赫拉·曼德拉是南非首位黑人總統(tǒng)(任期:1994年-1999年),被尊稱為南非國父。
     他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的非國大在結(jié)束南非種族主義的斗爭中發(fā)揮了極其重要的作用。1994年4月新南非誕生,標志著非洲大陸反帝、反殖民統(tǒng)治、反對種族隔離的政治解放任務(wù)勝利完成,載入了人類歷史文明進程的光輝史冊。1993年曼德拉和當(dāng)時的白人總統(tǒng)德克勒克同獲諾貝爾和平獎。1994年5月曼德拉當(dāng)選為南非歷史上第一位黑人總統(tǒng),在國內(nèi)外享有崇高的聲譽。曼德拉是一個標志,他代表了歷經(jīng)千辛萬苦、南非人民用生命作為代價所換來的政治轉(zhuǎn)型。對于這個國家而言,他扮演了"國父"的角色。即使在獄中,曼德拉也多次成為全球焦點,他的號召力和影響力遍及全世界。1981年,1萬余名法國人聯(lián)名向南非駐法使館發(fā)出請愿書,要求釋放曼德拉;1982年,全球53個國家的2000名市長又為曼德拉的獲釋而簽名請愿;1983年,英國78名議員發(fā)表聯(lián)合聲明,50多個城市市長在倫敦盛裝游行,要求英國首相向南非施加壓力,恢復(fù)曼德拉自由。如此人緣無人能及,難怪有人稱曼德拉為"全球總統(tǒng)"。
