Detailed explanation-1: -Mandela fought against apartheid, a system of white supremacy in South Africa. Under apartheid, everyone was put into one of four racial categories: “white/European, ” “black, ” “coloured, ” or “Indian/Asian.” Non‐white South Africans were second‐class citizens with little or no political power.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mr Mandela’s vision during the apartheid era was for the eradication of racism and for the establishment of a constitutional democracy. He envisioned a South Africa in which all its citizens had equal rights and where every adult would have the right to vote for the government of his or her choice.

Meanwhile, a political coalition of African, Indian, mixed-race, and white groups under the ANC umbrella, called the Congress Alliance, issued a document called the Freedom Charter, which advocated for universal suffrage and rights.
Detailed explanation-5: -Racial segregation existed in South Africa in the form of the Apartheid. It existed in South Africa till the 1990s. This discriminatory system in South Africa ended due to a campaign by Nelson Mandela.
