Robben Island lies in Table Bay, roughly 6.9 kilometers off the coast of Cape Town. During his 18 years there, Mandela was isolated in a tiny cell and subjected to hard labor in a lime quarry. The intense glare from the white lime permanently damaged his tear ducts, leaving him unable to cry tears for the rest of his life.

Mandela was born Rolihlahla Mandela. In Xhosa, the name colloquially translates to 'pulling the branch of a tree' or troublemaker. The English name Nelson was given to him on his very first day of school by his teacher, Miss Mdingane, following a common custom of giving African children English names during the colonial era.
