Final reflection of the South African struggle of apartheid at the end

My final reflection of apartheid is that how terriable it must have been to be a South African during the time of struggle with apartheid. Because when the South Africans protested either violently or non-violently, they would be either thrown in to jail or beaten badley. It became so bad that if they even song they would be punished for it. How great it must of felt when they freed mandela from prison and made him president who destroyed the thing the South Africans hated the most, apartheid.
