Hi Jenny!
It was the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
In 1994 South Africa finally ended the tragic events of Apartheid that had plagued the nation for many years. For 81 years South Africa suffered through Apartheid. The South African Apartheid started in 1913. Over the next 80 years black Africans were treated poorly, with no rights and no peace. After the years of oppression, it finally ended when a new president was elected. This paper provides an overview of the South African Apartheid and how it came to an end. The report describes the Democratic elections to bring a new president into office that officially closed the times of the Apartheid. It explains the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its role in bringing forgiveness and healing to South Africa. It also explains how Nelson Mandela acted as president and what he did after his presidency. The report thus explains the path towards the end of Apartheid and the possibility of hope in South Africa.
