An apartheid is a practice that separates people by their race. South Africa had this practice from 1948 to 1994. During this time the black people or also known as the Bantu people were not allowed to vote. Nelson Mandela was the leader of South Africa.
He is known for being a hero and establishing peace. He didn't believed in apartheid and wanted to demolish it. Nelson Mandela spend twenty-seven years in jail for being in a "anti-apartheid campaign." People were nervous because they thought that if he died in jail, everyone will kill each other. Luckily, he didn't die and was elected president. I think people find him a heroic person because he made very good changes in Africa. He was also awarded for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. Today apartheid is banned all because of one heroic person.
