A Global Icon Goes on to Glory

Rest in peace to a man who inspired a nation to fight for their civil liberties and led a revolution. He is known globally by these names:

Rolihlahla- Mandela's name given at birth (means troublemaker or one who pulls the branch)
Madiba- The name of Mandela's clan.
Tata- South African term meaning father and a word used by all South African admires of Mandela despite there age when referring to Mandela.
Khulu- "Great, Paramount, Grand"
Dalibhunga- Name given to Mandela after his rite of passage into manhood at age 16 (means creator or founder of the council)

However, he is most recognized and respected as NELSON MANDELA!
