WHAT DOES ANTI-APARTHEID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Internal resistance to South African apartheid

Internal resistance to the apartheid system in South Africa came from several sectors of society and saw the creation of organizations dedicated variously to peaceful protests, passive resistance and armed insurrection. It came from both black activists like Steve Biko and Desmond Tutu as well as white activists and a large proportion of Jewish activists like Joe Slovo, Denis Goldberg, Harry Schwarz and Helen Suzman. By the 1980s there was continuous interplay between violent and non-violent action, and this interplay was a notable feature of the rebellion against apartheid from 1983 until South Africa's transition to democracy in 1994.
