Congress imposed economic sanctions on South Africa primarily to protest against the apartheid regime, which enforced racial segregation and discrimination against the non-white majority. These sanctions aimed to pressure the South African government to dismantle apartheid and promote human rights and equality. The U.S. Congress enacted the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act in 1986, which called for a range of economic measures, including trade restrictions and divestment, to support the anti-apartheid movement. Ultimately, these efforts contributed to the eventual end of apartheid in the early 1990s.

He called for nonviolent resistance, and pushed for economic sanctions on South Africa to help end the apartheid government’s reign.
The U.S. reaction to apartheid in South Africa evolved over time, initially maintaining a policy of constructive engagement that aimed to foster reform while avoiding direct confrontation. However, in the 1980s, public pressure and activism led to stronger opposition, culminating in economic sanctions and divestment movements aimed at isolating the apartheid regime. The Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 marked a significant shift, imposing strict sanctions and affirming U.S. support for the anti-apartheid movement. Ultimately, these actions contributed to international pressure that played a role in the dismantling of apartheid.
