The apartheid system in South Africa was ended through a series of negotiations between 1990 and 1993 and through unilateral steps by the de Klerk government. These negotiations took place between the governing National Party, the African National Congress, and a wide variety of other political organisations.

I hope this helped!

Answer:

What happened first on the road to the abolition of apartheid was the Groote Schuur Minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Apartheid was a regime of racial segregation implemented in South Africa in 1948 by Protestant pastor Daniel François Malan and adopted until 1994 where the rights of the majority of the inhabitants were curtailed by the white minority in power.

The first step towards the abolition of Apartheid was the Groote Schuur Minute, which was an agreement that allowed exiles to return home without any fear and political prisoners were released from prison as long as the African National Congress pledged to stop the fighting armed
