what is apartheid? how the people of Africa were affected by it ... at least for 5 marks
Answers
Nelson Mandela was a key anti-apartheid activist, leading defiance campaigns and working as a lawyer. He was arrested in 1962, and given a life sentence for conspiracy to overthrow the government. His imprisonment did little to quell resistance. After years of violent unrest at home and sanctions abroad, the National Party began apartheid reform in the 1980s.
The system was dismantled in 1990, the same year then-president F. W. de Klerkreleased Mandela from prison. Mandela went on to serve as president for one term in 1994.
Moving South Africa past its apartheid culture has not been easy. The country still wrestles with significant racial issues. But it took some of its most important steps forward thanks to Mandela, a feat that many South Africans and foreign dignitaries havegathered to honor today at Johannesburg's National Stadium.

Answer:
____________________________________________________
✔Apartheid was the system of racial discrimination on grounds of race uniqueness to South Africa. This system was imposed by the whites on South Africa.
✔This system divided the people on the basis of their skin colour. They divided them into whites and non whites. The white rulers treated all non whites as inferiors.
♦ It mostly affected the blacks or the non whites as:
⇒The non whites did not have the voting rights. They were forbidden from living in white areas and could work in white areas only if they had permission.
⇒A lot of things like the buses, cars, trains, swimming pools, libraries, beaches, public toilets etc, we're separate for the blacks and whites. This was called segregation.
⇒They couldn't even go to the churches where the whites worshipped. They couldn't also protest against the whites.
