For most South Africans, Nelson Mandela is the father of their nation - many even called him "Tata", a local word for father. It was sometimes forgotten that he was also a real father of six, grandfather of 18, great-grandfather of eight, and husband to three women. 

He earned a place in history just like another father of a nation, Mahatma Gandhi. But there was a fundamental difference between these beloved men. While Gandhi was thought to be a depressed family man, Mandela was a strong and loving family man. Even so, Mandela and his family paid dearly for his devotion to his country's freedom. 

Mandela himself offered a glimpse into his personal war. "To be the father of a nation is a great honor, but to be the father of a family is a greater joy. _ " he said in April 1992, announcing his separation from Winnie. 

In 1944, Nelson Mandela married Evelyn. "I could not give up my life in the struggle," Mandela explained in his autobiography , Long Walk to Freedom, "and she (Evelyn) could not live with my devotion to something other than herself and her family... I never lost my admiration for her, but in the end we could not make our marriage work." They divorced in 1958. 

When Evelyn died in 2004, Mandela stood at her graveside with his third wife, Graca. Winnie also attended the funeral. 

Mandela married Winnie in 1958. But Winnie bore the hardship of life as Mandela, enduring her husband's 27-year imprisonment. From prison, Mandela wrote some of the greatest love letters to Winnie. "I dust it (your photo) carefully every morning - I even touch your nose with mine to regain the electric current that used to run through my blood whenever I did so." 

For many South Africans, it was the end of a fairytale love story when their separation was made public in 1992. "Tensions" had arisen and they had agreed on a separation. The hurt in his words was clear: "Perhaps I was blinded to certain things because of the pain I felt for not being able to play my role as a husband to my wife and a father to my children." 

"Unstable personal lives seemed freedom fighters' destiny ," he said. "When your life is the struggle, as mine was, there is little room left for family. That has always been my greatest regret, and the most painful aspect of the choice I made." The couple divorced in 1996.

För de flesta sydafrikaner är Nelson Mandela far till deras nation - många kallade honom till och med "Tata", ett lokalt ord för far. Ibland glömdes det bort att han också var en riktig far till sex, farfar till 18, farfars far till åtta och make till tre kvinnor. Han förtjänade en plats i historien precis som en annan far till en nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Men det var en grundläggande skillnad mellan dessa älskade män. Medan Gandhi ansågs vara en deprimerad familjefar, var Mandela en stark och kärleksfull familjefar. Trots detta fick Mandela och hans familj betala dyrt för sin hängivenhet för sitt lands frihet. Mandela själv erbjöd en glimt av sitt personliga krig. "Att vara fader till en nation är en stor ära, men att vara fader till en familj är en större glädje. Han sa i april 1992, att han skulle skiljas från Winnie. År 1944 gifte sig Nelson Mandela med Evelyn. "Jag kunde inte ge upp mitt liv i kampen", förklarade Mandela i sin självbiografi, Long Walk to Freedom, "och hon (Evelyn) kunde inte leva med min hängivenhet för något annat än sig själv och sin familj... Jag förlorade aldrig min beundran för henne, men till slut kunde vi inte få vårt äktenskap att fungera.» De skilde sig 1958. När Evelyn dog 2004 stod Mandela vid sin gravsida med sin tredje fru, Graca. Winnie närvarade även vid begravningen. Mandela gifte sig 1958 med Winnie. Men Winnie bar livets svårigheter som Mandela, och fick utstå sin makes 27-åriga fängelse. Från fängelset skrev Mandela några av de största kärleksbreven till Winnie. "Jag dammar det (ditt foto) noggrant varje morgon - jag rör till och med din näsa med min för att återfå den elektriska ström som brukade gå igenom mitt blod när jag gjorde det." För många sydafrikaner var det slutet på en sagolik kärlekshistoria när deras separation offentliggjordes 1992. "Tensioner" hade uppstått och de hade kommit överens om en separation. Såret i hans ord var tydligt: "Kanske var jag förblindad för vissa saker på grund av den smärta jag kände för att inte kunna spela min roll som make för min fru och en far för mina barn." "Ostabila personliga liv verkade frihet kämpar öde", sade han. "När ditt liv är kampen, som mitt var, finns det inte mycket utrymme kvar för familjen. Det har alltid varit min största ånger, och den mest smärtsamma aspekten av det val jag gjort." Paret skilde sig 1996. Ge nu en numrerad lista med svar på dessa frågor: 1.
