Dear student. 1. Nelson Mandela led the struggle against the Apartheid. 2.The apartheid system was racial discrimination of people in South Africa enforced by the white Europeans. 3. The white European traders who later settled there treated all non-whites badly. 4.The non-whites were not given any voting rights. 5.This system was especially cruel for the blacks. They were prohibited from staying in white areas. 6.Public properties like transport, cinema halls, schools, libraries, etc. were separate for the blacks and whites. This was known as ‘segregation’. 7. The blacks were not even allowed inside the churches where the whites worshipped. Also they could not start unions to fight against this conduct. Regards
