Answer 1

Apartheid was the official policy of racial segregation and ill treatment of blacks followed by the government of South Africa. The struggle of South African people against the apartheid can be explained as follows :-

• Since 1950, Blacks nad Indians were fighting against the apartheid but the racial government did not pay much heed to them.
• As the struggle gained momentum, the government realised that blacks could no longer be held under oppression and hence discriminatroy laws were anulled, bans from media lifted and Nelson Mandela walked out from the jail as a free man.
• On 26 april 1994, the new constitution was formed and the white racial govenrment was overthrown by a multiracial government.
