MANY people contributed in the struggle for freedom, most notably:
The African National Congress (ANC), and their leaders like Nelson Mandela.
The United Nations and countries in general - placing strict sanctions on South Africa, making it almost impossible for them to export or import. This affected the economy badly, putting pressure on the government to get rid of the racial-segregation laws in the country. In addition, politicians in government like Helen Suzman, and others like Desmond Tutu fought against Apartheid.

What do people think of nelson Mandela?
People think Nelson Mandela is a very important person who made a change in this world, by thinking about the country he wanted to live in, and thinking, "I don't want to live in a country like this, so I'm going to make a difference."
Why did Nelson Mandela fight against the apartheid?
Because he belonged to the group that was strongly disadvantaged by this system. Apartheid set whites and blacks apart in society, strongly benefitting the whites (in giving them all the real and legal power) and strongly obstructing life and blocking chances for wealth, power and success for blacks. And Nelson happened to be born black in South Africa. So there you have a strong personal motive to fight Apartheid. On top of that , Apartheid did not meet his own moral criteria of how a humane society should be (as it didn't meet the moral criteria of thousands, millions of other people around the globe anymore in the 70ies, 80ies seen the worldwide protests and embargos).
Why did apartheid last longer than segregation?
The answer is that Nelson Mandela was released out of jail in 1990 and it ended in 1991. It took so long because after he got out of jail , the violence began to get worse and the African American started to fight back against whites, cops and their army.
Compare Martin Luther King jr and Nelson Mandela?
My opinion--- For one, I think Nelson Mandela's speech was a lot more motivating than Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke about HIS dreams. He talked about what he saw in his dreams and how he wanted the people to dream about the same thing. Nelson Mandela on the other hand, spoke to the people about what everyone should do. For some reason it seems as though Mandela's speech is more commanding. Or if you want to say more drilling. It, to me, seems that the way he spoke in his speech, would make me want to listen to what he said, and put his words into actions.
What was the Biggest fear of Whites at the end of the Apartheid?
