1.My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life . I was twelve years old . It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice . He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time ,for which I was grateful.
I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six . The school where I studied for only two years was three kilomertes away . I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare . I could not read or write well . After trying hard ,I got a job in a gold mine ,However,this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there , and I worried about whether I would become out of work.
2.The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest . He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was . When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could.He said:
“The last thirty years have seen the greatest numeber of laws stopping our rights and progress ,untill today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all .”
