Leaders

A leader is someone who does good things they are strong trustworthy inspiring loyal good talkers and good listeners.

I think Nelson Mandela was a good leader.

He was in prison for 27 years for his belief of anti-apartheid, he wanted everyone black and white to have the same rights. All over the world he was a symbol of hope and justice. 4 years after he was released Nelson Mandela was the first president to be elected in south Africa when everyone was allowed to vote in a democratic election.

A famous quote of his when he was released form prison was:

“Friends, Comrades and fellow South Africans. I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.”
