A Nelson Mandela concept map shows the main stages of his life and their links to South African history. Mandela grew up in the Transkei, trained as a lawyer and joined the African National Congress.

Nelson Mandela Concept Map Questions
Common questions about Mandela's life and how to map it.

Most maps split his story into early life, anti-apartheid activism, imprisonment on Robben Island and other prisons, and his presidency from 1994 to 1999, with legacy as a final branch.
Why is the Rivonia Trial important on a Mandela map?
