.It is really not possible to credit the stopping of apartheid in South Africa to any one individual, although the iconic first black president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela played a leading role. The African National Congress, and the Pan African Congress progressively applied pressure both locally and internationally, from the 1960s, including an armed struggle to force the change. Economic sanctions were progressively applied internationally. All of these factors ultimately resulted in the government of the day capitulating. Nelson Mandela was freed from prison by the then President F.W. De Klerk, and the African National Congress was unbanned.

Both Nelson Mandela and F.W de Klerk were awarded the Nobel peace prize
