10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is sworn in as the first black president of South Africa in 1994

Most people know Nelson Mandela as the first black

 president of South Africa,

 a man who became a symbol of the anti-apartheid movement, 

and one who 

gave up nearly 30 years of his life in prison. He remains a hero

 to South Africans 

as well as to the international community, and will continually represent the

 struggle for freedom. But it’s easy to forget that even legends are human.

 Here are 10 things you probably didn’t know about Nelson Mandela.

*For the conspiracy theorists out there, I regret to inform you that Mandela is

 not in fact a part of the Illuminati, does not lead a Satanist cult, and did not

 die in Robben Island 30 years ago, only to be replaced by an impersonator.
