The mining boom led to the rapid industrialization of South Africa, with the development of infrastructure, transportation, and new industries to support the mines. South Africa quickly became the world's largest producer of both diamonds and gold.
This mineral boom also led to a huge demand for labor, increased racial segregation, and laid the foundation for the apartheid system.

He was born i small village, Qunu, he studied law and became a key figure in the African National Congress (ANC). Mandela spent 27 years in prison for his fight against apartheid and racial oppression. After his release from prison he was elected the first democratic president in South Africa.
"I Am Prepared to Die" was a three-hour speech given by Nelson Mandela 1964 from the dock at the Rivonia Trial (he was then sentenced to prison for life). It is considered one of the great speeches of the 20th century, and a key moment in the history of South African democracy.
South Africa - Gimme Hope Jo'Anna
* Durban - third largest city. Population: most Zulu
* Transvaal - used to be a part of the country where white people lived. Dutch, then British.
"Gimme Hope Jo'anna"
Well Jo'anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don't care about the rest at all
Well Jo'anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don't care about the rest at all
She's got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see
How everybody could have live as one
Oh, Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drum
Can't you see that the tide is turning
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
Oh, go give me hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come
An anti-apartheid song written and originally released by
Eddy Grant in 1988, during the apartheid era (1948-94) in South Africa.
Jo'anna in Grant's song is Johannesburg.
Not the capital of South Africa - BUT "Joburg" is the biggest city and a cultural melting pot + people from all of South Africa's major cultures.
Johannesburg hade en central roll under apartheidperioden. Under apartheid tvingades majoriteten av befolkningen bo i särskilda områden som Soweto. Trots att apartheid har avskaffats, kvarstår det sociala och ekonomiska arvet av segregation, vilket bland annat syns i de bestående skillnaderna mellan stadsdelar.
It is also known as the city of gold and is the “it” and “happening” place of the country.
The song was banned by the South African government when it was released, but was widely played in South Africa nonetheless
