Organisatiegeschiedenis 📅 31 Mei 1961 📍 Zuid-Afrika

South Africa became a republic after a whites-only referendum. The ANC's stay-at-home ended on this date, making visible the gap between constitutional change and democratic inclusion: the change of state form did not transfer political power to the country's Black majority. The protest was met with arrests and coercion, while many workers and residents participated despite the risks.
