Nelson Mandela’s role in bringing Apartheid to an end was very
important, however, there were many other factors that contributed to
the ending of Apartheid.

The African National Congress, also known as the ANC, was a major
factor in ending Apartheid. Even when the ANC became illegal in South
Africa it moved to continue its work against Apartheid. In 1940 Dr.
A. B. Xuma became president of the ANC; he rescued a struggling
organisation. In 1944 he reorganised it, out its finances onto a
secure footing and attracted some able, young, new members who formed
the ANC’s Youth League. In 1993 he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela
even though he was white. Walter Sisulu was the leader of the ANC. 
He was imprisoned for life in 1964. He was freed in 1989 and became
the ANC deputy president in 1991. Oliver Tambo served as president of
the ANC from 1960 to 1991. He helped build international opposition
to Apartheid. Steve Biko was a leader of the Black Consciousness
Movement in the 1970s. As a student he believed white-dominated
political groups could never win against Apartheid. He contributed to
bringing Apartheid to an end by making young black people believe they
were important.

Mass protests also helped bring Apartheid to an end; the examples are
the Sharpville massacre (in 1960) and the Soweto (in 1978). 
Sharpville was a very important turning point in the fight against
Apartheid. In 1960 the PAC organised a protest against the pass laws
at Sharpville. Some 5000 unarmed protesters gathered. Stone throwing
led to shooting. At the end of the day 69 Africans were dead and 178
wounded. Obviously this massacre caused devastation, upset and
anger. The ANC called for a national day of mourning. The ANC and
PAC were banned by the government, Mandela was imprisoned along with
2000 other anti-apartheid activists .
