उत्तर
Nelson Mandela felt deeply moved and overwhelmed at his inauguration because it marked a historic turning point in South Africa’s history. His swearing-in ceremony symbolized the end of the harsh apartheid system that had oppressed the black majority for many years. It was not just a personal victory for Mandela but a triumph for the entire nation. His long struggle for freedom was rooted in his strong belief in equality and justice. He joined the African National Congress and became a leading figure in the fight against racial discrimination.
Despite facing great hardships and spending many years in prison, Mandela remained firm in his determination to end apartheid. He believed that true freedom meant unity and reconciliation between black and white citizens. As the first black President of South Africa, he promised to build a democratic and non-racial country where no one would suffer discrimination based on colour or creed. His leadership marked the beginning of a new era of peace, dignity, and national unity.
