  • 1. When was it and who conducted it?
    • -The apartheid is a period of time in South African history when the National Party, an all-white government,  came to the presidency of South Africa in 1948, remaining  in power for 50 years. The apartheid ended in 1994, when the country formed a new constitution and elected a coalition party formed of the non-white majority. 

    • 2. What is it?
    -The apartheid is qualified as the '"separation of the races"  (as advocated by the party) and the legislative and institutionalized segregation against blacks, indians, and coloured in order to promote white supremacy. The government enforced several laws to promote the interests of the white, european minority while neglecting and oppressing the non-white, African majority.

    • 3. What were the consequences and why is it important?
    Non-whites were forced to move in separate areas from the white people and were interdicted to use the same services and facilities. Every inhabitants were categorized and classed in different ethnicities and displaced to all-blacks or indian areas. Many organizations advocating the rights of non-white Africans, such as the African National Congress, opposed the government and led sometimes violent revolts, strikes,  and boycotts against the National Party. Eventually, the apartheid state led the country into economic recession and attracted international interest, which pressured the National Party to reform their policy and bring the apartheid to an end.

    •  Mandela stood out among prisoners and guards as a man of principle and dignity, willing to sacrifice his life for his beliefs. Despite harsh prison life, Mandela mustered energy to challenge his keepers. Through word, deed and symbol, he challenged the system that denied him liberty.
    2.) He aligned 
    • After being elected South Africa’s first black president, Mandela announced he would serve only one term, though two were permissible. He understood rallying the country and bridging diverse interests meant making room for others. Black supremacy was as depraved as white supremacy, in his view. Mandela knew that over a billion people would watch his inaugural presidential address and used this speech—and key plural pronouns we, us, and our—to align a deeply divided nation around a common vision.
    3.) He learned
    • Mandela faced big questions after his release from prison: What to do with the faltering economy? For most of his life, Mandela was a socialist and even a Marxist. He was suspicious of free markets and private ownership, given the abuses he witnessed. Mandela exemplifies how a strategic leader adjusts strategy and execution amid complex social, political, legal and economic forces without compromising deeply held values. Leadership is not just about motivating people and creating political support for a strategy, but also about maintaining broad support through successive adjustments to the plan.
