South African liberation struggle

The South African liberation struggle was a movement to end apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination that favored white South Africans over Black and other non-white populations. Led by groups like the African National Congress (ANC) and figures such as Nelson Mandela, it involved protests, activism, and sometimes armed resistance. The goal was to achieve equality, civil rights, and a democratic society where all races had equal opportunity and representation. The struggle culminated in the 1994 democratic elections, marking the end of apartheid and establishing South Africa as a multiracial democracy.
