  6. 6. A policy of racial discrimination that oppressed South Africa's Black majority.
  7. 7. Mandela's idea of freedom deepens through his life. As a boy, he believed freedom meant simply doing as he pleased — running in the fields and enjoying himself. As a young man, he came to see that this was only a child's idea, and that his real freedom and that of his people had been taken away. He realised he was not free while his brothers and sisters lived in chains, and that the hunger for his own freedom became a hunger for the freedom of all. Most strikingly, Mandela concludes that freedom is indivisible and works both ways: the oppressed and the oppressor must both be set free, because a man who robs another of freedom is himself a prisoner of hatred and prejudice. True freedom, for him, is therefore to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
