How does Nelson Mandela show the passage of time in paragraph one?

"On the day of the inauguration, I was overwhelmed with a sense of history. In the first decade of the twentieth century, a few years after the bitter Anglo-Boer War and before my own birth, the white-skinned peoples of South Africa patched up their differences and erected a system of racial domination against dark-skinned peoples of their own land... Now in the last decade of the twentieth century, and my own eight decade as a man, that system has been overturned forever and replaced by one that recognized the rights and freedoms of all peoples regardless of the color of their skin."

• He explains how apartheid in South Africa began in the early 20th century but was abolished before the end of it.

• He summarized his own lifetime, birth to the present.

• He talks about existence of mankind from the beginning of time to present and its impact.

• He tells the history of South Africa.
