With Apartheid, blacks were kept remote
But it came to end, sure as boats float
They elected a fella
Named Nelson Mandela
The first time that they got to vote

Events: The Group Areas Act (formal institution of segregation) is passed; the first general election in which blacks could vote is held in South Africa
Years: 1950; 1994
