Activists such as Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) used a combination of peaceful protests, civil disobedience, and armed struggle to challenge the discriminatory policies of apartheid. International pressure, economic sanctions, and isolation also played a crucial role in bringing apartheid to an end. In 1990, President F.W. de Klerk announced the unbanning of anti-apartheid organizations and the release of political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela. Negotiations between the government and the ANC led to the dismantling of apartheid and the establishment of democratic elections in 1994. Nelson Mandela was elected as the first black president of South Africa, marking the end of apartheid.
