Today, Africa's hero turns 93. Born Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela on 18 July 1918 Known as Madiba, which is an honorary title adopted by Mandela’s clan, Mandela has not stopped receiving awards for his contribution to world peace. 
In 1962 he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and other charges, and sentenced to life in prison. Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island. Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela led his party in the negotiations that led to multi-racial democracy in 1994Mandela has been given over 250 awards in the last four decades of his life. The height of this was the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize. The hosting of the last FIFA World Cup held in South Mandela was not out of the instrumentality of the personality of Mandela. The emancipation of the South African spirit owes its continued survival to Mandela.
Without doubt, the progress witnessed today in all the spheres of South Africa’s national life is tied to Mandela. Once again the world celebrates with Rolihlahla at 93.
