        <h3>Here is a time line of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela</h3>

       
    <ul>
<li><strong> 1918</strong> -Rolihlahla Mandela was born into the Madiba clan in the village of Mvezo , Transkei </li>
<li><strong>1933</strong> -Mandela began his secondary education at Clarkebury Methodist High School, Engcobo, a Western-style institution that was the largest school for black Africans in Thembuland.</li>
<li><strong>1943</strong> -Mandela marched in support of a successful bus boycott to reverse fare rises.Joining the ANC, he was increasingly influenced by Sisulu, spending time with other activists at Sisulu's Orlando house, including his old friend Oliver Tambo</li>
<li><strong>1943</strong> -Mandela met Anton Lembede, an ANC member affiliated with the "Africanist" branch of African nationalism, which was virulently opposed to a racially united front against colonialism and imperialism or to an alliance with the communists. Despite his friendships with non-blacks and communists, Mandela embraced Lembede's views, believing that black Africans should be entirely independent in their struggle for political self-determination.</li>
 <li><strong>1944</strong> -Entering a relationship and marrying in October </li>
<li><strong>1945</strong> -Their first child, Madiba "Thembi" Thembekile, was born </li>
<li>1947</strong> -His three years of articles ended at Witkin, Sidelsky and Eidelman, and he decided to become a full-time student, subsisting on loans from the Bantu Welfare Trust.In 1947, Mandela was elected to the executive committee of the ANC's Transvaal Province branch, serving under regional president C. S. Ramohanoe</li>
      <li><strong>1948</strong> -Gaining increasing influence in the ANC, Mandela and his party cadre allies began advocating direct action against apartheid, such as boycotts and strikes, influenced by the tactics already employed by South Africa's Indian community. Xuma did not support these measures and was removed from the presidency in a vote of no confidence, replaced by James Moroka and a more militant executive committee containing Sisulu, Mda, Tambo, and Godfrey Pitje. Mandela later related that he and his colleagues had "guided the ANC to a more radical and revolutionary path.</li>
 <li><strong>1950</strong> -Mandela took Xuma's place on the ANC national executive in March</li>
<li><strong>1956 </strong>-In December 1956, Mandela was arrested alongside most of the ANC national executive, and accused of "high treason" against the state. Held in Johannesburg Prison amid mass protests, they underwent a preparatory examination before being granted bail.</li>
<li><strong>1960 </strong> -Africans burned the passes that they were legally obliged to carry. One of the PAC-organised demonstrations was fired upon by police, resulting in the deaths of 69 protesters in the Sharpeville massacre. The incident brought international condemnation of the government and resulted in rioting throughout South Africa, with Mandela publicly burning his pass in solidarity.</li>
<li><strong>1964</strong>-Justice De Wet found Mandela and two of his co-accused guilty on all four charges; although the prosecution had called for the death sentence to be applied, the judge instead condemned them to life imprisonment</li>
<li><strong>1968</strong> -His mother visited in 1968, dying shortly after, and his firstborn son Thembi died in a car accident the following year; Mandela was forbidden from attending either funeral.</li>
<li><strong>1975</strong> -His daughters first visited him</li>
<li><strong>1982</strong> -Mandela was transferred to Pollsmoor Prison in Tokai, Cape Town, along with senior ANC leaders Walter Sisulu, Andrew Mlangeni, Ahmed Kathrada, and Raymond Mhlaba; they believed that they were being isolated to remove their influence on younger activists at Robben Island.</li>
<li><strong>1988</strong> -Mandela's 70th birthday in July 1988 attracted international attention, including a tribute concert at London's Wembley Stadium that was televised and watched by an estimated 200 million viewers.</li>
<li><strong>1989</strong>-De Klerk called his cabinet together to debate legalising the ANC and freeing Mandela.</li>
<li><strong>1990</strong>  -February 1990  announcing Mandela's unconditional release</li>
<li> <strong>1992</strong> -On 13 April 1992, Mandela publicly announced his separation from Winnie.</li>
 <li><strong>1991 </strong>-In September 1991, a national peace conference was held in Johannesburg at which Mandela, Buthelezi and de Klerk signed a peace accord, though the violence continued.</li>
<li> <strong>1994</strong> -As widely expected, the ANC won a sweeping victory, taking 63% of the vote, just short of the two-thirds majority needed to unilaterally change the constitution</li>
 <li> <strong>1994</strong> -His inauguration took place in Pretoria on 10 May 1994, televised to a billion viewers globally</li>
<li><strong>1995</strong>-By 1995, he had entered into a relationship with Graça Machel, a Mozambican political activist 27 years his junior who was the widow of former president Samora Machel.</li>

<li><strong>2004</strong>-In 2004, Mandela successfully campaigned for South Africa to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup</li>
<li><strong>2013 </strong> -Mandela died on 5 December 2013 at the age of 95, at around 20:50 local time (UTC+2) at his home in Houghton, surrounded by his family</li><br>
