What happened at the End of apartheid in South Africa
Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination enforced by South Africa's government from 1948 to the early 1990s, denying Black South Africans political rights and economic opportunity. Decades of internal resistance, led by organizations such as the African National Congress, combined with international sanctions and boycotts, pressured the government toward reform. Nelson Mandela's release from prison in 1990 opened negotiations to dismantle apartheid laws. These talks culminated in South Africa's first democratic elections, held from April 26 to 29, 1994, in which citizens of all races voted. Mandela's election as president symbolized the transition to a multiracial democracy and the formal end of legalized apartheid.
