Nelson Mandela 

Turning point

 Increasingly aware of the unjust nature of South African Society. The majority of Black South 

of Africans had little opportunities either Economic or Political, then he become political. In 

the 50s S.A. state make increasingly repressive making it more difficult for the ANC to operate. 

Then he resin it and worked underground. Mandela noted in his autobiography the judiciary were one 

of the least repressive parts of the South African State and in theory sought to follow the rule of law.

 Mandela had been arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Robben Island 

prison.
