...and why? Because...
"Apartheid didn’t collapse, people got together and struggled, and sang, and persisted. Women weren’t given the vote, they joined with each other and made universal suffrage essential. And so it goes. It’s a well-worn argument, but that doesn’t make it less right. Most of the freedoms we enjoy today have been won by people stepping out of line to make the world a better place by taking back power. And this means confronting the powerful who wish to preserve the status quo. Climate change won’t just go away until we, that’s you and me, get together and create moments of resistance and celebration that break through this grey, complacent slide towards catastrophe".

Apartheid was also fought against violently, and then at the end of it all was this the real cause?
The whites still controlled the economy afterwards, they gave the blacks the government but in the post transition neogotiations they locked down the ecomony in their favour, so they get all the monies and the black government get the blame.
Additionally what revolutions have ever been won peacefully by squatting a field?
Surely in the struggle was violent it would have a greater change of success? Get a few tanks behind you, THEN you can make some difference.
