Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela is considered by many to be the father of South Africa. He
was an anti-Apartheid activist, which means that fought for those who were
disadvantaged by the system of racial segregation. Mandela became a civil
rights leader, leading many against the apartheid government.
Apartheid was a system of racial inequality which kept all races separate from
one another.
Apartheid policy governed relations between South Africa’s white minority
and nonwhite majority and sanctioned racial segregation and political and
economic discrimation against nonwhites. The implementation of apartheid,
often called ‘separate development’ since the 1960s, was made possible through the Population
Registration Act of 1950, which classified all South Africans as either Bantu (all black Africans), Coloured
(those of mixed race), or white. A fourth category – Asian (Indian and Pakistani) – was later added. In
1994, Mandela was of key importance in negotiating the freedom and equality of South Africans. He
then became South Africa’s first democratically elected president.
