Nelson Mandela School, corner of Colville Road & Stoney Lane, Sparkbrook
Nelson Mandela School in Birmingham welcomed its first children in 1987, and was officially opened by Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town the following year. Mandela was at that time a prisoner in South Africa. He had been detained by the South African authorities in 1962 for leading resistance to the apartheid system of White supremacist rule in his country.
Mandela visited the school on the 11th October 1993. He had been released from prison in 1990 and as President of the African National Congress party was negotiating the end of apartheid with the government. The following year he was to become President of the Republic of South Africa, the country's first head of state from its Black African majority, having been elected in the country's first multiracial elections.
