Apartheid was a policy the govnerment put down to seperate the whites from any other race.They put down laws which restricted the people who weren't white.This caused riots to rise and boycotts to happen in order to express their opinion.Then the president F.W. de Klerk got rid of it in 1994. The most impactful person was Nelson Mandela who was a leader in the African national congress.
Nelson Mandela was part of the African national congress and was arrested for treason.He was sentenced to life in prison but got realeased after 27 years.This was when he made his move and changed the way that Africa was being governered.He changed the whole system in 5 years and was elected as the President.
He was considered a hero because of the fact that he set his people free.Because of his voice and him not using straight up violence he changed the government.He freed both the bl;ack people and the white people.
