The marked a turning point in the fight against apartheid. (A) imprisonment of Black activists (B) Sharpeville massacre (C) Soweto uprising (D) trade union movement

The Soweto uprising in 1976 was a monumental moment in the struggle against apartheid, where thousands of students protested against the enforcement of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in schools. Tragically, the protest turned deadly when police opened fire on the demonstrators, igniting international outrage and galvanizing support for the anti-apartheid movement. The Sharpeville massacre in 1960, which saw police kill 69 peaceful protesters, was another critical event that highlighted the brutality of the apartheid regime. This massacre not only led to increased resistance within South Africa but also shifted global perceptions, prompting many countries to reconsider their relationships with the apartheid government.
