Apartheid in South Africa during the 90’s:

I feel that this paper will be a great decision to make when choosing a certain topic. One of the main reasons I want to do this topic is because Apartheid has a wide variety of different issues that you can discuss and provides many different resources to why the issues happened as they did in South Africa. A few of the different issues we could look at during Apartheid in South Africa are segregation, white control, political resistance missions, Nelson Mandela’s role during Apartheid and the ANC fighting back against the South African Police force. I also feel that this will be a great topic to use due to the fact that I am from South Africa and the rich history my country has to offer and there is a lot of valuable information to research when it comes to the broad variety of information when it comes to this specific topic. Also as a rugby player I wanted to incorporate the sport and history of rugby in South Africa with my main topic of apartheid. During these times in Apartheid South Africa basically got cut off from the entire world due to the mass protests going on around the world to stop the apartheid regime and government. With external pressure from the world onto South Africa it also caused a major issue in South African sport and especially rugby. The entire rugby team was just made up of white players and the South African rugby team eventually had no other international teams to play against due to the apartheid regime and that the rest of the world had no interest whatsoever towards South Africa due to the racism going on in the country. Many other issues that were caused by the apartheid regime were inequality, poverty and unemployment that still has an issue on South Africa in 2023. I would also like to incorporate rugby in this research topic due to the fact that rugby isn’t just a sport in South Africa but is almost seen as a religion and is the one sport that brought the whole country together, no matter what religion you are or what color your skin is. When South Africa won the 1995 rugby World Cup it brought the entire country together and for the first time in decades South Africa came together and everyone forgot about the hurt, pain and depression caused by the apartheid regime. There are also many governmental pdf’s from the South African government that were released and will be very useful to me and will provide good information for the resources that I will be able to use.
