Founded on January 8, 1912 by John Langalibalele Dube in Bloemfontein as the South African Native National Congress, its main mission was to grant voting rights to black Africans.
In 1923 it acquired its current name. Since the 1940s, its main struggle was the end of apartheid, and in 1952 it went from having 7,000 members to more than 100,000.
The ANC originally tried to use nonviolent protests to end apartheid, however, the Sharpeville massacre, which resulted in the deaths of 69 black Africans, contributed to the deterioration of the party's relations with the South African government.
On April 8, 1960, the administration of Charles Robberts Swart banned the ANC and forced the party to leave South Africa. After the ban, the ANC formed the Umkhonto we Sizwe ("Spear of the Nation") to fight against apartheid using guerrilla warfare and sabotage.
On February 3, 1990, state President Frederik de Klerk lifted the ANC ban, and on February 11, 1990 freed Nelson Mandela.
On March 17, 1992, the referendum was approved by voters who eliminated apartheid and allowed the ANC to participate in the 1994 elections, where Mandela was elected president.
