29. Mandela Was Groomed for Leadership
When Neslon Nelson Mandela was just nine years old, his father died. As a young boy, he was brought to a palace at Mqhekezweni and placed in the guardianship of Chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo and his wife, Noengland. He was given a top-notch education and attended church on a regular basis. During that time, he developed a profound appreciation for African history and was preparing to become a tribal ruler.
