AFRIQUE DU SUD # L’implant contraceptif sera désormais gratuit pour toutes les femmes. En 1994, l’Afrique du Sud a autorisé ses habitantes à interrompre gratuitement leurs grossesses au cours des 12 premières semaines et jusqu’à 20 semaines en cas de danger physique ou mental (pour la femme ou le fœtus), de viol ou d’inceste mais également si la grossesse met en péril la situation sociale ou financière de la femme.
Ces dispositions très favorables au bien-être des femmes a cependant ses limites, elles font face à des résistances sociales (stigmatisation et harcèlement). De plus, seuls 24% des centres de santé publics offrent ce service et les centres privés coûtent très cher, jusqu’à 3200 rands soit 2,5 fois le salaire mensuel moyen (hommes et femmes confondus). Une étude a démontré que la moitié des femmes sud-africaines recourant à l’IVG le font dans la clandestinité ce qui représente des risques très importants en matière d’hygiène, de respect des pratiques sécurisées et d’accompagnement des femmes. Espérons que son accessibilité soit totale. Nelson Mandela. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (/mænˈdɛlə/;[4] Xhosa pronunciation: [xoˈliːɬaɬa manˈdeːla]; 18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013) was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.
He was South Africa's first black chief executive, and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalised racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically an African nationalist and democratic socialist, he served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1991 to 1997. Internationally, Mandela was Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999.
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. She was married to Nelson Mandela for 38 years, including 27 years during which he was imprisoned.
Although they were still married at the time of his becoming president of South Africa in May 1994, the couple had separated two years earlier. Their divorce was finalised on 19 March 1996,[2] though Winnie Mandela continued to be a presence in Mandela's life in later years despite his remarriage in 1998. Winnie could be seen almost daily visiting her former husband Nelson Mandela at the Mediclinic heart hospital in Pretoria where he was receiving treatment.[3] Of all the major figures who came to global prominence during the South African liberation struggle, Ms.
Madikizela-Mandela was the most glamorous and the most at home in the world of celebrity culture – which is what made her fall from grace all the more startling; and for many of the years just before Mr. Early life[edit] Lillian Ngoyi. Lillian Masediba Ngoyi "Ma Ngoyi", (25 September 1911 – 13 March 1980), was a South African anti-apartheid activist.[1][2][3][4] She was the first woman elected to the executive committee of the African National Congress, and helped launch the Federation of South African Women.
Ngoyi joined the ANC Women's League in 1952; she was at that stage a widow with two children and an elderly mother to support, and worked as a seamstress. A year later she was elected as President of the Women's League. Albert Lutuli. Inkosi Albert John Lutuli (commonly spelled Luthuli;[1] c. 1898 – 21 July 1967), also known by his Zulu name Mvumbi, was a South African teacher and politician.
Luthuli was elected president of the African National Congress (ANC), at the time an umbrella organisation that led opposition to the white minority government in South Africa. He was awarded the 1960 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the non-violent struggle against apartheid. He was the first African, and the first person from outside Europe and the Americas, to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Robert Sobukwe. Steve Biko. Stephen Bantu Biko (18 December 1946 – 12 September 1977)[3] was an anti-apartheid activist in South Africa in the 1960s and 1970s.
A student leader, he later founded the Black Consciousness Movement which would empower and mobilize much of the urban black population. Since his death in police custody, he has been called a martyr of the anti-apartheid movement.[4] While living, his writings and activism attempted to empower black people, and he was famous for his slogan "black is beautiful", which he described as meaning: "man, you are okay as you are, begin to look upon yourself as a human being".[5] Even though Biko was never a member of African National Congress (ANC), ANC has included him in the pantheon of struggle heroes, going as far as using his image for campaign posters in South Africa's first non-racial elections in 1994.[6] Nelson Mandela said of Biko: "They had to kill him to prolong the life of apartheid.
Art Against Apartheid. Before Nelson Mandela, there was Albert Luthuli.
A majestic figure, a hereditary Chief of the Zulus, Luthuli was clearly the most inspirational figure of his generation in South Africa, and his untimely death at the age of 69 in circumstances that can only be described as suspicious robbed South Africa of its most creative exponent of nonviolent resistance to apartheid. Luthuli had joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1945, and he rose to become president of the provincial Natal branch of the ANC in 1951; the following year, Luthuli was among those who orchestrated resistance to the notorious pass laws. His part in the Defiance Campaign earned him the opprobrium of the government, and he was offered the choice of renouncing his membership in the ANC or being stripped of his Chieftainship.

As a South African Air Force World War II veteran during the 1950s, Schwarz co-founded the Torch Commando, an ex-soldiers' movement to protest against the disenfranchisement of coloured people in South Africa. Described as South Africa's "most feisty politician" and a political "maverick",[5] he was known for his parliamentary clashes with the apartheid government over its racial and economic policies.
In his political career spanning 43 years, in which he gained respect from across the political spectrum, he never lost an election.[6] In 1988 he received the Order for Meritorious Service and received several Honorary Doctorates. Refugee from Germany[edit] Military service[edit] Bram Fischer. Abram Louis Fischer, commonly known as Bram Fischer, (23 April 1908 Bloemfontein – 8 May 1975 Bloemfontein) was a South African lawyer of Afrikaner descent, notable for anti-apartheid activism and for the legal defence of anti-apartheid figures, including Nelson Mandela at the Rivonia Trial.
Following the trial he was himself put on trial accused of furthering communism. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. He served eleven years and was released in 1975 crippled by the disease from which he died two weeks later.

The ANC and SACP were critical of her method of opposition to Apartheid.
