INelson Mandela Foundation eseRhawutini igcina ilifa lenkokheli yaseMzantsi Afrika ebalaseleyo nezukileyo.

Kolu tyelelo uzikhokelayo, uza kuphonononga umboniso osisigxina obalisa uhambo lukaMandela ukusuka ekubeni ngunyana wenkosi yasemaphandleni, waba libanjwa lezopolitiko, waza waba nguMongameli. Njengoko uhamba kulo mboniso, uza kufumanisa nendlela iinkulungwane zengcinezelo yobukoloniyali ezathi zanikezela kwidemokhrasi, nendlela indoda enye eyathi yaba luphawu lolo tshintsho.

Uqala ekungeneni eCentral Street eHoughton, uza kudlula kwindawo yokwamkela iindwendwe uye kwindawo yomboniso osisigxina. Uza kudibana namazwi anamandla, kuquka la adumileyo athi “Ndiwelimilambo enamagama”, uze uhambe phakathi kweephaneli ezichaza ubukoloniyali, ukunyuka kolawulo localulo, kunye nophuhliso lukaMandela ukusuka kulutsha lwe-Africanist ukuya kwinkokheli engacaluli ngokobuhlanga. Lo mboniso ulandela umsebenzi wakhe no-OR Tambo kwifem yomthetho yabantu abamnyama ekuphela kwayo eMzantsi Afrika ngeminyaka yoo-1950, ubunkokeli bakhe beDefiance Campaign yowe-1952, kunye nendima yakhe njengomphathi wokuqala woMkhosi woKhuseleko weSizwe (Umkhonto we Sizwe).

Uza kuma ngaphakathi kwempinda yeglasi yesisele sikaMandela saseRobben Island, apho wachitha iminyaka elishumi elinesibhozo kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini anesixhenxe awayevalelwe ngayo, uze uhlolisise ikarhos yesikhumba sikadyakalashe awayeyiphethe ngexesha lokuthethwa kwetyala lakhe ngo-1962 njengophawu lokungathobeli. Utyelelo luphelela kwiofisi kaMandela egciniweyo, awayeyisebenzisa ukususela ngo-2002 ukuya ku-2010, kwaye esahleli kanye ngendlela awayeyishiye ngayo. Utyelelo luphela kwindawo yokupaka, apho imoto yakudala evela kwifilimu ethi Long Walk to Freedom iphawula indawo emele ukubanjwa kwakhe ngo-1962 kufutshane neHowick.

Kolu tyelelo lwemizuzu engama-45, uza kuba nethuba loku:

• Ukubona iintsalela zendlu yaseMvezo apho uMandela wazalelwa khona ngo-1918, kunye namakhadi akhe obulungu besikolo seCawa samaMethodist.
• Ukufumanisa indlela uMandela awafunda ngayo isiBhulu ngexesha evalelwe, ebhala ukuba ukuqonda “ulwimi lomcinezeli” kwakubalulekile ukuze wazi amandla nobuthathaka bomchasi wakho.
• Ukubona imbasa yakhe yeNobel Peace Prize nediploma, awathi wazinikwa ngo-1993.
• Ukuhlolisisa imbalelwano esusela kwixesha lobongameli bakhe, kuquka amanqaku athathwa ngexesha leseshoni yokuqala yePalamente ngomhla wama-25 kuMeyi 1994.
