1个回答
Mr Mandela's heroic status is a phenomenon.For years his fame was largely confined to his own country,South Africa.He did not become widely known abroad until his first trial,for high treason,ended in 1961.Though acquitted,he remained free for little more than a year before being convicted on sabotage charges at the Rivonia trial,which began in 1963.During his long subsequent confinement,more than 17 years of which were spent on Robben Island,a wind-scorched Alcatraz off the Cape coast,little was heard of MrMandela and nothing was seen of him.When he emerged from captivity on February11th 1990,no contemporary photograph of him had been published since 1964; the world had been able only to wonder what he looked like.
