The end of Apartheid in South Africa was marked by its first democratic election in 1994, after which the African National Congress was voted in as the ruling party. Nelson Mandela became president of the party and therefore the country shortly after being released from jail (on Robin Island). He had been held there for his participation in the struggle against apartheid. If you are really interested read his book The Long Walk to Freedom, or just watch the movie.

The statement you referenced is most likely attributed to Nelson Mandela. In June 1961, Mandela and other leaders of the African National Congress (ANC) were assessing the political climate in South Africa, leading to the establishment of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the ANC. This marked a significant shift in their approach towards fighting apartheid, as they recognized the need for armed resistance after years of peaceful protests. Mandela's leadership during this period was pivotal in the struggle for South African independence.
