Q. What was apart heid? Why people of South Africa protested against it?
Answers
Explanation:
Internal resistance to apartheid in South Africa originated from several independent sectors of South African society and took forms ranging from social movements and passive resistance to guerrilla warfare. Mass action against the ruling National Party (NP) government, coupled with South Africa's growing international isolation and economic sanctions, were instrumental in leading to negotiations to end apartheid, which began formally in 1990 and ended with South Africa's first multiracial elections under a universal franchise in 1994.
Answer:
Apartheid was a system of certify racial segregation that existed in South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia) from 1948 until the early 1990s.
Explanation:
Anti-apartheid protests took hold in the 1960s, particularly on the campuses of American colleges and universities.
Initially, protesters wanted to end apartheid, but there were not many ways to influence the South African government using the traditional forms of protest such as picketing or demonstrations.
