The Sharpeville Massacre in 1960 led to significant changes in government policies in South Africa, particularly regarding its approach to anti-apartheid protests. In response to the international outcry and internal unrest, the apartheid government intensified its repressive measures, including the banning of the African National Congress (ANC) and other political organizations. This event also prompted the government to adopt a more violent stance against dissent, leading to the establishment of harsher laws and security measures aimed at quelling opposition. Consequently, the massacre galvanized both domestic and international resistance to apartheid, ultimately contributing to the increased global pressure for change in South Africa.

Actually, the world DID make South Africa change, as did the courageous actions of people like Nelson Mandela. For decades, South Africa's apartheid government brutally discriminated against black people, and there was little outcry in other countries about it. That began to change in the 1960s and 1970s: as civil rights movements took hold in a number of places around the globe (including in the USA), gradual and increasing pressure on the South African government came from an international chorus of voices-- advocates and political figures, as well as artists, musicians, journalists, poets, and movie stars. There was pressure to release Mandela from jail, as well as pressure to end apartheid. The pressure kept increasing throughout the 1970s and well into the 1980s, and the more the media reported about it, the harder it became for the white rulers of South Africa to continue defending the system that treated black citizens so harshly. It took a while for change to occur (social change is rarely immediate), but by the late 1980s, South Africa's government was on its way to ending apartheid.
Nosekeni Fanny was a prominent South African activist known for her role in the anti-apartheid movement.

The African National Congress (ANC) was primarily focused on ending apartheid and promoting equality in South Africa. Its functions included mobilizing grassroots support, organizing protests and strikes, and advocating for political change through both peaceful and armed resistance. The ANC also worked to establish a democratic government that represented all South Africans, regardless of race. After the end of apartheid, it transitioned into a political party and has since played a significant role in the governance of South Africa.
