Apartheid Explained | Nelson Mandela’s Battle

Charisma, poise and strength of character. These are but a few words to describe the man who’s treacherous journey from political prisoner to becoming the first Black president of South Africa, is perhaps the most widely celebrated underdog story in modern African history.

Known all around the world as a symbol of the never ending fight against racism and discrimination, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela’s successful fight against the deeply oppressive system of apartheid in his home county of South Africa would see him become the very embodiment of his famous maxim: “it always seems impossible until it is done.”

I allways wanted to know about apartheid but could never find good documentaries about it. This one covers everything in a brief but captivating way. Thanks!

When I was in Zambia back in 1988, 1989 and 1990 I heard news about the aparthied in South Africa everyday. Everyday I heard the true story from Radio Zambia while the news outlets in South Africa made up their report of it by deflating the number of deaths. Radio Zambia always told the truth reporting about it and I loved it!

I will never forget the exact words my grandmother said to me when describing Apartheid.
"The Nazis basically made a comeback in South Africa"
Her side of the family was originally from Germany, and growing up in the 30s made her fascinated with how democracies fail and oppressive regimes get put in place.

I am from Lithuania and I learn so much about African continent history through your channel. Thank you very much!

[mubopo]

I have nothing against Mandela and I think he's a personality to reckon with but at times I'm at odds when little is shared about Steve Biko! One of the many unsung heroes of Africa! As always, much respect to your content!

[JCC]

I love learning about African History here in the USA. This is excellent and informative work. Good Job!

[itumelengmabusha]

[Hashey]

I'm trying to spread the word about your channel because it is really some of the best and unbiased informative content on here. Please keep it up!

Looks like the ANC started on the Martin Luther King route, then went to the Malcolm X route and finally got things done. Prayer and non-violence don't work when your enemy doesn't even believe you should exist.

[GolelaSihle]

This is by far your best Videos, I dont say this just coz Im South African, but I love how you used Actual videos of the Apartheid Architects explaining what it, then adding commentary afterwards!
I love the fact is that you have Real strong conclusions, and they realistic and unbiased! Appreciate your work!

[mmarook]

[ALeaud]

I'm so glad I'm learning more about Africa. I feel like I learnt nothing about Africa when I was in high school. Thanks!

[panoschasapis]

Thank you so much NewAfrica. In Greece where I grew up and went to school, none of this is talked about, it is merely mentioned by some teachers. The books don't say anything about all this oppression. Thank you so much for this!

[ethans.]

The man was certainly not perfect but he fought and defeated apartheid like a warrior and that deserves respect. A true son of Africa 🌍!

As a Christian, it grieves my spirit to see how much religion has been and is still been used by some to oppress others. This is simply demonic and those people will someday give an account to the Creator who created us all in His image✝️
