When did Apartheid end and how was "the end" determined?

Answer by  CTB (8)

Apartheid in South Africa ended in 1994 with the election of Nelson Mandela, leader of the anti-apartheid African National Congress, as President. This election -- the country's first multi-racial election -- followed years of negotiations between President De Klerk's government and several political groups, including the ANC.
