How apatheid people affected people's lives and how did the respond?

Apartheid in South Africa systematically oppressed non-white populations, severely restricting their rights, mobility, and access to resources, which led to widespread poverty and social injustice. Many people responded through resistance movements, such as the African National Congress (ANC), which organized protests, strikes, and international campaigns to draw attention to the injustices. Activists like Nelson Mandela became symbols of the struggle, inspiring both local and global efforts to dismantle apartheid. Ultimately, the persistent resistance contributed to the eventual end of apartheid in the early 1990s, leading to a new era of democracy.
