Long walk to freedom

Post by CocoaButter »

It is 20 years since the South African authorities agreed to free Nelson Mandela - the man who would lead the struggle to end the country's policy of racial segregation, and create a multi-racial democracy.

Using the BBC archives, see how he left behind his cell of 27 years, to become South Africa's first black president.
