Duchess of Sussex meets campaigner­s

-

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has met several anti-apartheid campaigner­s during an official tour of South Africa. Apartheid was a system that treated non-white people unfairly and it was used by the white leaders of South Africa throughout much of the 20th century, ending in the early 1990s. One of the campaigner­s,

Sophia Williams-De Bruyn, organised a massive march against apartheid in 1956, when she was 18 years old. The duchess said that meeting her was an “incredibly powerful moment”.
