Answer: (A)

Nelson Mandela served as president of South Africa after apartheid. After decades of racial segregation, South Africa held its first multiracial elections in 1994, and Mandela, a longtime anti-apartheid leader, was elected to lead the country from 1994 to 1999. His presidency symbolized the transition to majority rule and reconciliation. The other countries listed—Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Kenya—are different nations with separate leadership histories, and Mandela did not serve as their president.
