What changes did Nelson Mandela make to South Africa as their president?
he fought against racism and anti apartate in South Africa. He felt very strongly about his beliefs and for that he was jailed in 1962 and convicted of treson and sentanced to a life sentanced in prison.he was then released on feb 11th 1990 The most notable positive contribution of Mandela's presidency was probably the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. When Apartheid ended the country was full of people who had suffered gross human rights violations and wanted justice, but the crimes were so widespread that it wasn't feasible to imprison everyone who had been part of the previous regime without causing a total collapse of the government. The TRC allowed the country to face up to its past without destroying itself. On a less positive note Mandela's presidency has been justifiably criticized for its poor handling of the AIDS epidemic in a country that has one of the highest rates of infection in the world. (He dedicated relatively little time to addressing the problem before retiring as President, a decision he now acknowledges was a terrible mistake.)

Why were international sanctions made in South Africa?
International sanctions were made against South Africa because of the countries racist policies. The South African government between 1948-1994 imposed laws of strict racial segregation in order to maintain White Afrikaner minority rule over the Black majority population of South Africa. Under the apartheid regime, many Human Rights violations were made (as were raised by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission) and this prompted the United Nations to impose sanctions on South Africa to try and force a change in policy.
