Africa was ruled by white European settlers. They 
owned much of the land and made all the laws. Toys 
and free time. Children in Mandela's village made 
their own toys using clay and sticks. They played 
games such as hide-and-seek and tag. The boys 
enjoyed stick fighting. Transportation. Many white 
people drove cars, but Mandela and most others in 
his village walked. Mandela enjoyed boxing for exercise.
