The first vote Mandela casted in his life was for himself. It is an achievement that he was able to run as a candidate and had the freedom to cast a vote in his own country after years of rights suppression.
Mandela realized near the end of the book that it was not the only oppressed that needed to heal from the struggles but it was also the oppressor themselves. This type of inspiration came from the fact that he did want to be fighting for black or white people but for the cause of the common man. The oppressed may become freed from unjust rules but the oppressor has released themselves from small-minded thinking that takes time to recover and adjust.
