South African anti-colonialism

South African anti-colonialism was a movement resisting European colonization, especially British and Dutch influences, that oppressed indigenous populations, primarily Black South Africans, through discriminatory policies, land dispossession, and political marginalization. It aimed to restore control over their land, culture, and governance, emphasizing racial equality and independence. Leaders like Nelson Mandela and organizations such as the ANC fought for liberation, culminating in the end of apartheid in 1994, transitioning South Africa to a democratic society. Overall, it was a struggle to reclaim sovereignty, challenge racial injustice, and establish equal rights for all citizens.
