Answer 1

unite non-white South Africans and further their cause.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The African National Congress was founded to unite non-white South Africans and further their cause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The African National Congress is a political party in South Africa. Founded in 1912 in Bloemfontein, to defend the interests of the black majority against the white minority, it was outlawed by the National Party during apartheid in 1960. It was again legalized on February 2, 1990, when the Apartheid was abolished in June 1991. It was also classified as a terrorist organization by the United States from 1986 to 2008.

In 1994, the first general unrestricted multiracial legislative elections allowed the ANC to gain power and Nelson Mandela, president of the ANC, to be elected President of the Republic of South Africa. Since then, the ANC dominates South African political life (60-70% of the votes in the various general elections of 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2014).
