Nelson Mandela was imprisoned by the South African government primarily for his role in opposing apartheid, the system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination. In 1962, he was arrested and later convicted of sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the government, leading to a life sentence in 1964. The government viewed him as a threat to the stability of the apartheid regime, as he was a prominent leader in the African National Congress (ANC) and a symbol of resistance against racial oppression. His imprisonment became a focal point for international anti-apartheid movements and ultimately contributed to the downfall of apartheid in South Africa.
