Question

i know how south africa apartheid was violated but i dont know what was done to stop it. can u help me please

Answer 1

Apatheid came to an end in South Africa when Nelson Mandela was elected president in 1994.

The first United Nations arms embargo was in 1963. Also, the US took steps took actions to restrict the flow of support to South African military and police.

There's an interesting article on the Stanford website for you to learn more.

Answer 2

Does the name Nelson Mandela mean anything to you. Mr. Mandela spent 37 years in prison on Robben Island for what the then south african government considered acts of treason against South Africa.

He wrote his ideas on what South Africa should be like in small pieces of paper and slipped them out the prison through drainage ditches.

Eventually in 1991 after the world had put sanctions on South Africa for many years, the SA government rescinded apartheid and let Mr. Mandela out. In the 1994 elections he was elected South Africa's first black President and served one term until 1998.

Answer 3

Er.... I would say one of the more important sets of people in stopping the style of government was Steve Bikko and Donald Woods.

Bikko was a South African activist who stirred up university students and started organizations to liberate Black People (figuratively) and make them see how wrong the government was. Naturally, he was jailed and killed.

Donald Woods was following the story though, and wrote an account of what was going on, and escaped the country, and managed to get to England, where in 1991 his work was published, and pressure was put on South Africa to end their practices.

At least, that’s the tid-bit I do know. Research those two persons and you'll get a good lead.

Answer 4

The end of the white minority rule in South Africa propably came as a result of two factors: Firstly if became internally unworkable for a ever increasing number of whites refused to believe in it as it testified by the fall of Botha. In the sametime it became extrenally harmfull to the South Africa itself for the sanctions imposed against it by the majority of the Western countries (with the notable exeptions of Reagan's USA and Thatser's UK, the so- called champions of the Free Word) did work and hit hard South Africa's economy.
