Oliver Tambo
Oliver Tambo was a prominent South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician, who served as the president of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1967 to 1991. A close ally of Nelson Mandela, Tambo played a crucial role in internationalizing the struggle against apartheid and fostering global support for the ANC.
