I was fascinated by the man who was in prison and fought for the rights of the black people in his counntry. I do remember reading about South Africa and its apartheid when I was studying geography in secondary school. I was shocked by what I read about the system that segregated people.
This year I could teach about the history of Apartheid when I did a short text by Nadine Gordimer with my fifth year students. I felt inspired by some videos and also some songs which can help us introduce Mandela and apartheid in the English lessons.
When searching online there are plenty of resources. Here is the one shared online by TeachingEnglish.

My Lesson Plan and materials
Introduction created by using a free world cloud tool: I just had to copy the text of the song by the Simply Minds
https://www.wordclouds.com/
Talking and guessing about the issue in the song
The students will have to talk about the content of the song and be guided into finding more information about Mandel .
Listening and Viewing Skills
The students watch the video about the song and focus on the information they can get from the text and why it was written.
The students are given the video trailer about a famous film about the life of Nelson Mandela and will discuss about what they have seen and what they know about the man.
Follow up
The students do the activity about the hero Mandela at home- it is a lesson shared online but it can help the learners work on their own and will listen to some more information in a guided biography online.

The next step: creativity
The students have to work in a group and create an artefact in English about Mandela and the history of South Africa.
They can use online editors for photos and create their text online to be shared by using Google Slides and any tool for making videos.
