Nelson Mandela becomes South Africa’s first black president

Mandela’s inauguration came after more than 300 years of white rule. Before becoming president, he was a pivotal figure in the fight against the racist apartheid regime and was incarcerated for 27 years.

Very soon our Grade 12 students will be finishing their time here at Collège du Léman.

As they depart we will share some nice stories of their time here. But first, we should look back to their younger days.
