During British rule in South Africa, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there were significant social and political unrest driven by racial discrimination, land dispossession, and economic exploitation. The discovery of diamonds and gold intensified tensions, leading to conflicts such as the Anglo-Zulu War and the Anglo-Boer Wars. Native Africans and Boer settlers opposed British control and policies, resulting in widespread resistance movements. This unrest laid the groundwork for future struggles against apartheid and colonial rule.
