This topic looks at what makes a good or great leader, and how we can learn from them. The CAPS curriculum emphasizes Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi as great leaders. They are included in this lesson,  however, SAHO has profiled many other leaders in this section as teachers are free to add their own local, provincial, national or international leader of their choice. The leader must have contributed to the advance of democracy and human rights.
