 * 44 Explain the reasons for the fall of apartheid in South Africa, including the influence and ideas of Nelson Mandela**:

The fact that the US held a court sewing all the major companies who supported South Africa's apartheid. The most important of the reasons for the fall of apartheid was Nelson Mandela's bravery. He was arrested and convicted of sabotage and served in jail for 28 years. In 1990 he released Mandela from Prison (what was supposed to be a life sentence). Mandela was elected president by the new Parliament and Apartheid was over. After he was released from prison he led his party in the negotiations that led to multi-racial democracy in 1994. Sabotage campaigns against military and government targets were coordinated by him. He had lead workers to go on strike in 1961 and he left South Africa illegally. He was on the run for 17 months before he was arrested on August 5, 1962 because the CIA had given away where he was hiding and his disguise. While Mandela was in prison his reputation grew to be the most significant black leader in South Africa. Nelson Mandela was elected in 1994 becoming South Africa's first black president resulting in the end of the apartheid system. Nelson Mandela’s contribution and dedication to South Africa’s struggle in having freedom and equal rights for every South African led to his popularity and respect in South Africa.Nelson Mandela's anti-apartheid group, MK, waged a guerrilla war against the apartheid regime which helped it to fall.The black Africans who made up more than 2/3 of the country, saw that under the apartheid their rights were limited, and worked to break down the system. In 1952, Nelson led a civil disobedience campaign against apartheid laws and was arrested along with 8500 other people.

New legislation classified inhabitants into racial groups and residential areas were segregated, sometimes even by means of forced removals.

South African Anti-Apartheid leader and first black President Nelson Mandela was against the apartheid and would protest in peaceful ways like burning nis pass which allowed him to go throughout the country.

nelson mandela created and lead the ANC, which was the fall of the apartheid.

In a 1992 national referendum, white South Africans voted to make the transition to full democracy.

The apartheid system began to fall apart in the 1980s. Two million unemployed blacks, a shrinking white minority, continued black resistance, and an economy suffering from international sanctions finally convinced many South Africans that something had to change.

Because Nelson Mandela was so determined to end apartheid in South Africa, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Apartheid was a legal racial segregation enforced by the National Party government in South Africa between the years of 1948 and 1994.

The apartheid was dismantled in a series of negotiations from 1990-1993.

Apartheid was a system of legal racial segregation enforced by the National Party government in South Africa between 1948 and 1994, under which the rights of the majority 'non-white' inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and minority rule Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island where he remained for the next eighteen of his twenty-seven years in prison. While in jail, his renown grew and he became widly known as the most significant leader in South Africa. by white people was maintained.


 * Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela** was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. His father was Chief Henry Mandela of the Tembu Tribe. Mandela himself was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law in 1942. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party's apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted in 1961.

In 1951, ANC leaders petitioned for an end to apartheid and for the advent of representation in government. The ANC Youth League launched the defiance campaign of the 1950s. A joint ANC-South African Indian Congress passive resistance campaign in 1952 ended with the arrest of 8,000 people

Nelson was the leader of the anc that took down the aparthide. The us had a court which sewed the companies that supported the idea of the south African aparthide. Nelson also helped take it down.

1976 was the begininng of revolts.

Nelson Mandela co-founded the ANC's armed wing,Umkonto we Sizwe (spear of the nation) which lead in 1961

As a result of the [|Boer War] (1899-1902), the British wrested control of the country from the Dutch or Boer immigrants. [|Great Britain] established South Africa as a self-governing country within the [|Commonwealth of Nations], but the [|Afrikaners] (descendants of the Dutch immigrants) exercised effective power. They implemented laws that segregated Afrikaners (white) from Africans (black) and reserved education, landownership, and good jobs for Afrikaners.

In 1960, protests against the racial pass laws (requiring all blacks to carry pass books that were used to control their employment and free movement) brought 20,000 protesters to Sharpeville. Police fired on the unarmed demonstrators, killing 69 and wounding another 186, mostly shot in the back. All the victims were black. After the [|Sharpeville massacre], the government outlawed both the ANC and the Pan-Africanist Congress and arrested thousands of activists. Concluding that peaceful protest would not work in South Africa, the ANC went underground and organized the Spear of the Nation armed force, which began a campaign of sabotage against the government. An intense government campaign led to the arrest and imprisonment of many ANC leaders, including Spear of the Nation founder [|Nelson Mandela].

He led the movement which led the South African to more freedom.

The ANC tried to use peaceful manners to help end he apartheid but failed so they took voilent methods as a last resort.

He was an anti- apartheid activist and part of Umkhonto we Sizwe.

Apartheid had similarities to segregation in the American South, but it was much worse. Nelson Mandela was the first black president of South Africa.

Reforms to apartheid in the 1980s failed to quell the mounting opposition, and in 1990 President frederik wihem de klerk began negotiations to end apartheid, culminating in multi-racial democratic elections in 1994, which were won by the African national Congress under Nelson Mandela. The vestiges of apartheid still shape South African politics and society.

Mandela was elected as the first black president of South Africa in 1994 and jointly wins the Nobel Peace [|Prize] in 1993 for his contribution to ending apartheid despite spending twenty-seven years as a political prisoner.

The most effective arm in the resistance polotics in the 1980's was youth activism. In 1990 In 1889, F.W De Klerk the state president, suprised the parliament and the country by unbanning the liberation movements, and releasing political prisoners, notably Nelson Mandella in February 1990.

He was the first south African to be elected as president, in a fully representative democratic election.

Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela led his party in the negotiations that led to multi-racial democracy in 1994.

He commited treason against the apartheid.

Nelson Mandela was the first black skinned president in South Africa since the apartheid in the 1948 separating the white and black skinned races.

An organization called the African National Congress turned to boycotts, strikes and civil disobedience. In the early fifties they began their Defiance Campaign, together with some of the South African Indians

Nelson was put in jail for sabotage and when he was released he continued what he started messing with the United States

Nelson served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, and was the first South African president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election.

Nelson Mandela served as President of South Africa from 1994-1999. He was the first black president in South Afric in over 40 years.

Nelson Mandella led many anti-aparthedid boycotts, strikes, and a civil disobedience, and eventually became the first black president of South Africa.

Legislation classified inhabitants into racial groups (black, white, colored, and Indian),and residential areas were segregated, sometimes by through forced removals.

1976 marked the beginning of a sustained anti-apartheid revolt in June, pupils of Soweto rose up against apartheid education. Youth activism became the single most effective arm in the politics of resistance in the 1980's.

Nelson Mandela ended apartheid in South Africa between 1990-1993.

Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland

On May 4, 1994, the once unthinkable occurred. Nelson Mandela, after years of imprisonment, was democratically elected the president of South Africa, a country whose history was marked by the racist policies of apartheid. And one of the reasons apartheid ended was because of protest divestment.
