Where?
Nelson Mandela completed most of his work in South Africa where was born and died. Nelson didn't really have much of a choice as to where he spent his time as he spent around a third of his life in prison. Nelson only left the country once and that was Military training, and even then he was only gone for about four months.
Why?
Nelson did most of his work because he was sick of being treated like a nobody and he wanted to make a difference for himself, and his race. He was put in jail because he was black and he thought that wasn't right so he fixed it.
