Nelson Mandela was influenced by Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence and alternative systems, as well as Che Guevara's emphasis on dialogue. Born in 1918 in South Africa, he became a lawyer and fought against apartheid, serving 27 years in prison for his activism. He was later elected president of South Africa in 1994, the first multi-racial elections, and worked to reduce social and economic inequalities in the newly democratic nation.
