South Africa (post-apartheid transition)

The post-apartheid transition in South Africa began in 1994, ending decades of racial segregation under apartheid. Nelson Mandela’s election as the first Black president marked a move toward racial equality and democracy. The new government aimed to address economic and social disparities through constitutional reforms, promoting human rights and inclusive governance. Despite progress, challenges like economic inequality, HIV/AIDS, and social division persisted. The transition was a significant step toward building a more equitable society, reflecting efforts to reconcile past injustices while fostering national unity and development.
