History
She was Nelson Mandela's teacher, who gave him the name "Nelson'' on his first day at school as it was a custom to give African children English names that was influenced by British colonials who could not easily pronounce African names. It is unclear why Miss Mdingane chose the name ''Nelson" for Mr Mandela.
