He spent 18 years incarcerated on Robben Island where the conditions were unimaginable. The government pre-empted further action and arrested Mandela along with 155 other activists, and in 1962 he was imprisoned for 27 years for his resistance to the regime. It's here where he organised peaceful and non-violent protests against apartheid – a political and social system that upheld racial segregation in South Africa – which lasted from 1948 to 1991.
