What problems did Nelson Mandela had and that he overcome?

Getting rid of apartheid was one of the biggest challenges that Nelson Mandela faced. The apartheid system was introduced by the white government in 1948. This system restricted the freedom of blacks, Indians and coloureds in South Africa. Some rights that were taken away from them were: · They could not own land in 'white areas'. · They were forced into townships in crowded conditions on the outskirts of cities or designated homelands in rural areas. · Best-paying jobs were reserved for the whites. · Blacks were not allowed to form political parties, become members of Parliament, or vote. · Blacks had to carry passbooks (identification papers) at all times. These were to be produced on demand. · Places were segregated. Zoos, parks, beaches, even ambulances were assigned for blacks or whites. Because Nelson Mandela felt strongly about equal rights for all races, he joined the ANC. The ANC protested against apartheid which led to Mandela being banned from political action (including peaceful protest) and later he was imprisoned on Robben Island. It is said that the reason the government did not have him killed was because they feared a backlash, so instead they locked him up. While he was imprisoned there was a lot of international attention. Many countries began forms of protest. 'Free Mandela' was often made into protest songs and poems. Some countries refused to play sport against South African teams and countries boycotted South African products. Finally in 1990 Mandela was released. Nelson Mandela had to overcome many challenges in his life and a few are outlined above. For Mandela, his main challenge was apartheid, and after a long fight, he won and apartheid was abandoned.
