Nelson Mandela’s Ethiopian 🇪🇹 passport under the name David Motsamayi given to him by Emperor Haile Selassie in 1962 to allow him to travel undetected.

In 1962, Nelson Mandela was smuggled across the borders of South Africa. He was granted an Ethiopian passport by Haile Selassie, and classified as a journalist, under the name David Motsamayi, which allowed him to travel the region. On 11 January made a surprise appearance at the Pan-African Freedom Movement Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Mandela's address to the conference took place a few weeks after the first sabotage attacks were committed by uMkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation), also known as MK, which was the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC).
