Biografie 📅 26 Augustus 1960 📍 Zuid-Afrika

The government lifted the State of Emergency imposed after the Sharpeville massacre. The end of emergency rule did not restore the ANC’s legal space: the organisation remained banned, while leaders and communities continued to face surveillance and restrictions. This distinction matters because the emergency was temporary, but the racial order and political repression were built into law and institutions.
