Nelson Mandela was associated with which organisation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: African National Congress
Answer: A, the African National Congress, commonly called the ANC. To understand this, apartheid was a system of racial discrimination in South Africa in which the white minority controlled political power and denied equal rights to the Black majority. The ANC became a major organisation opposing this system and demanded freedom, equality and democratic participation. Nelson Mandela was an important ANC leader and worked against apartheid; he later became South Africa’s first democratically elected Black president. B is wrong because the United Nations is an international organisation, not Mandela’s anti-apartheid political organisation. C is wrong because the British Parliament is the legislature of the United Kingdom. D is wrong because a cricket board manages sport, not a political struggle. Memory cue: ANC means the organisation linked with Mandela and the anti-apartheid movement.
