What did Freedom mean to Mandela in his Childhood?

Mandela’s understanding of freedom as a child was quite full of innocence like any other normal child. He used to think that running in the fields, swimming in the clear stream of water and being free to roast mealies was a true freedom.
Riding the back of slow-moving bulls was also counted as being free according to Nelson Mandela.
He describes his childhood as one of the happiest times in his life, where he lived in a small village and roamed freely in the hills and fields.

During his childhood, Mandela saw freedom as the ability to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, such as playing with in open fields, swimming in the clear stream.

He viewed freedom as being able to live a carefree life, without any restrictions or limitations imposed by the oppressive apartheid regime.
However, Mandela’s view of freedom changed as he grew older and became more aware of the inequality and injustice faced by black South Africans. He realized that true freedom meant the ability to live a life of dignity, respect, and equality, with the same opportunities and rights as white South Africans. This realization led him to become a leader in the fight against apartheid and to work tirelessly for the freedom of his people.
