Nelson Mandela
It was our first democratic election in South Africa, in which the African National Congress (ANC) won and Nelson Mandela became president.
It wasn't speaking out for freedom that put Mandela in prison. It was the association with the violent part of ANC - which did bombings that hurt and killed people - that got him sent to prison.
One of the people who supported the ANC was Nelson Mandela, (Former president of South Africa) He along with many other black people burned passbooks to show they're hatred to the law. Nelson Mandela's famous picture was of him smiling and burning his passbooks to the camera.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela fought injustice by making peacefull protests with the rest of the ANC. Though then Nelson Mandela got arrested with about 150 other ANC leader. After that and the school childrens protest the sout africans decided to sabotage the whites. and that leaded to the release of Nelson Mandela.
FW de Klerk
he lifted the ban of the anc (African national congres) and so Mandela was part of it so that's how he was released ... well that's what i think
Nelson Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1944, and then joined the resistance against the ruling National Party's (NP) apartheid laws after 1948. After the ANC was banned in 1960, Mandela argued for setting up a military wing of the ANC. In 1961, the ANC formed the Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962. In 1990, F. W. de Klerk officially ended apartheid, and Mandela was released. He became the first black president of South Africa in 1994.
