Getting ready to learn about the African National Party. In 1948 the National Party was voted into power and set in motion the "apartheid machinery". The majority of the people of South Africa were denied the right to vote. Fortunately people like Nelson Mandela would not accept the status quo. We will learn more about this special man and his life while we are in Cape Town.

Having just watched the movie "Sarofina" I am amazed that nearly 2 years after the East German regime was overthrown that the Apartheid Laws were still in place.
June 17, 1991 was when the Apartheid Laws were finally repealed. There is so much to learn from this very fine movie.
