Question

What sort of freedom did Mandela enjoy as a boy? Was it real? Give your opinion.

Answer 1

Like any other kid, for Mandela freedom meant to make merry and enjoy the blissful life. He was free to run in the fields near her mother’s hut, free to swim in the clear stream that ran through his village, free to roast mealies

under the stars and ride the broad backs of slow-moving bulls. No, it was not a real freedom. He was allowed to play around his house as a kid. He didn't not have other rights like that of the whites. He could not study what he wanted or play wherever he wanted other than around his house.
