What happened in South Africa on September 1989?

Answer 1

In September 1989, South Africa was experiencing significant political changes as the apartheid regime began to show signs of weakening. President F.W. de Klerk took steps toward reform, signaling a shift in policy that would eventually lead to the dismantling of apartheid. This period marked the beginning of negotiations to end decades of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination. The changes set the stage for Nelson Mandela's release from prison in 1990 and the country's transition to democracy.
