The 1970s: The Anti-Apartheid Movement's Difficult Decade

The 1970s was a serious decade in the struggle for the liberation of Southern Africa. In 1975, Mozambique and Angola were independent from Portugal and changed the South Africa region. In South Africa, after the internal opposition was suppressed in the latter half of the 1960s, the black conscious movement and the development of independent labor unions showed new resistance expansion. At the same time, if the attitude towards race changes in the post colonial world, it becomes more difficult to protect apartheid. Even international companies, whose high profit margins depend on the wages paid to black employees to make a living, need to find acceptable reasons to continue investing in South Africa. These changes have brought a new challenge to the British anti-apartheid movement (AAM). The Marxist government was established in the former Portuguese colony and Cuba joined Angola, so South Africa became the forefront of the Cold War. It is unclear how the emergence of a new movement in South Africa affects the process of struggle and the role of the African National Congress (ANC). Constitutional participation in commercial interests contradicts South Africa's comprehensive isolation proposed by AAM. These arguments have been successful in the British trade union movement, part of the church, and other supporters the AAM is trying to support. In this article we will explore how AAM coped with these challenges and how the mass movement came in the 1980s.

For over a decade, the anti-apartheid movement has worked to end the relationship with the apartheid sports agency in the UK. Due to the long history between the two countries it is difficult to announce the message of racial engagement in sports in South Africa through the media. Many people believe that the AAM movement only isolates South Africa for political reasons and that politics should not be incorporated into sports. But this argument is effective because the public does not understand racial discrimination in sports in South Africa.

In 1994, after 30 years of resistance, South Africa's anti-apartheid campaign successfully ended the overwhelming and unpopular regime to give way to South Africa's first democratic government. The resistance movement of the apartheid system came from several sectors of society united to form an organizational alliance dedicated to the use of strategic nonviolence, peaceful protests and civil disobedience. - Most parts of the African continent are less economical and progressive than in other regions. However, it has grown rapidly over the past few years. Many countries in Africa, such as South Africa and Botswana, reflect strong economic growth, but many other countries are still corrupted and struggling to develop into the country. Africa is facing many challenges right now
