When Apartheid ended and the African National Congress under Nelson Mandela came into power in South Africa in 1994, the national holidays were changed to days that would be meaningful to all South Africans. \n\n21 March: Human Rights Day\nOn this day in 1960 the police killed 69 people at Sharpeville who were participating in a protest against the pass laws. Many were shot in the back. The carnage made world headlines. Four days later the government banned black political organisations, many leaders were arrested or went into exile. During the Apartheid era there were human rights abuses by all sides; Human Rights Day is but one step to ensure that the people of South Africa are aware of their human rights and to ensure that such abuses never again occur.\n\n27 April: Freedom Day\nThis was the day in 1994 when the first democratic election was held in South Africa, ie an election when all adults could vote irrespective of their race, and the day in 1997 when the new constitution took effect. \n\n1 May: Worker's Day\nMany countries around the world commemorate the contribution made by workers to society on May Day (America doesn't celebrate this holiday because of its communist origins). It has traditionally been a day to protest for better wages and working conditions. Given the role that trade unions played in the fight for freedom, it is unsurprising that South Africa commemorates this day.\n\n16 June: Youth Day\nIn June 1976 students in Soweto rioted in protest against the introduction of Afrikaans as the language of instruction of half their school curriculum, sparking eight months of violent uprisings across the country. Youth Day is a national holiday in honour of all the young people who lost their lives in the struggle against Apartheid and Bantu Education. \n\n9 August: National Women's Day\nOn this day in 1956 some 20,000 women marched to the Union [government] Buildings in Pretoria to protest against a law requiring black women to carry passes. This day is celebrated as a reminder of the contribution made by women to society, the achievements that have been made for women's rights, and to acknowledge the difficulties and prejudices many women still face.\n\n24 September: Heritage Day\nNelson Mandela coined the phrase "rainbow nation" to describe South Africa's diverse cultures, customs, traditions, histories, and languages. This day is a celebration of that diversity.\n\n16 December: Day of Reconciliation\nAfrikaners traditionally celebrated 16 December as the Day of the Vow, remembering the day in 1838 when a group of Voortrekkers defeated a Zulu army at the Battle of Blood River, while ANC activists commemorated it as the day in 1961 when the ANC started to arm its soldiers to overthrow Apartheid. In the new South Africa's it's a day of reconciliation, a day to focus on overcoming the conflicts of the past and building a new nation.

Joan of Arc was awesomely brave and Godly too so I give her much respect as well.\nAngelina Jolie is sponsoring some kids from third world contries and educating people about their poverty,she deserves credit in that respect too.

Current - Nelson Mandela: I marvel at the way he could forgive people for the attrocious things they did to him and other's. He embodies the cure to the human condition. \n\nPast - King Solomon: The wisest man to have graced the earth. Ther wasn't a case/ problem he could not solve. To have his wisdom and just inclination instruct me would leave me awe struck.

Africa's first elected female leader.\n\nA former World Bank economist and veteran politician, Mrs Johnson-Sirleaf is nicknamed the Iron Lady but has promised to show a new, softer side as president.

Don't forget Nelson Mandela.  It shows that the person takes the law seriously and respects authority, and at the same time wants to demonstrate an injustice in our society.  It forces people to question whether they think their laws are fair since innocent people are suffering.  There is an underlying assumption that people are basically good and your cause is fundamentally just.

WTF is your question?  Angola was never under South African domination....  There was a 3 way civil war seemingly forever, and there were some SA operatives involved (I know this from  personal knowledge - there were also some US operatives involved too).

FW de Klerk was the final white president of South Africa and he bought Apartheid to an end in that country. he was instrumental in freeing Nelson Mandela and handing power to the Black African majority by allowing them to vote for Government, which had been banned previously. As a result embargoes were removed and SA was allowed free trade with the rest of the world, and also alllowed back into International Sport.

No one is as perfect as the Western media portrays them.\nNelson Mandela was not a perfect man; he was presumably cheating on his wife; he went through a period when he wanted to kick out all whites from South Africa; he was a communist; he belonged to a party that condoned what some people call "terrorism" (others call it "freedom fighting"), and in fact was labeled a terrorist by the US government during his fight against the apartheid government.\nHowever, the fact remains that when he when he was released from prison he was spokesman for peace and unity in South Africa when most blacks were nearly blind with hatred against whites who had starved, abused and murdered blacks for decades.  \nI have spent time in South Africa and Zimbabwe and I currently live in Zambia.  I have never, heard anyone speak negatively of Mandela; ever.  He remains a hero to the African people and to many people elsewhere.
