How did Mandela describe ‘true freedom’?

Answer: When Mandela was a kid, running freely in the fields and swimming in the streams were freedom to him. As a young man, he wanted basic and honourable freedom, i.e., to earn his living and nourish a family. According to him, true freedom is something that allows a person to lead a lawful life without any obstruction.
