Introduction
Nelson Mandela was the most famous prisoner in the world.He is probably now one of the most famous grandfathers in the world!Here he is celebrating a birthday with his family.
This book is about another grandfather, who is not world-famous.He is talking to his young grandson about Nelson Mandela.The young grandson is called Andile and he is growing up in a very different South Africa to that of his grandfather and Nelson Mandela.
Andile has friends who are both black and white,and knows little of the struggle that Nelson Mandela fought for a better life for South Africa's black people.So, Andile's grandfather tells him that story.
CHAPTER 1 Childhood (l918-194l)
Nelson Mandela was a country boy.When I first knew him he lived in a small village near the Indian Ocean, in a hut shaped like a beehive.
With his mother and his three sisters, he ate meals out of a communal pot.The food was usually samp, a porridge made from corn on the cob. Mmm, it was delicious!
