WEB: Presidents Carter and Reagan and Congress had all instituted sanctions against the white minority South African government because of its policy of racial apartheid. But in 1986, Reagan condemned Mandelaโ€™s group, the ANC, which was leading the black struggle against the apartheid regime, saying it engaged in "calculated terror ... the mining of roads, the bombings of public places, designed to bring about further repression."

After the apartheid regime in South Africa declared the ANC a terrorist group, the Reagan administration followed suit.

In August of 1988, the State Department listed the ANC among "organizations that engage in terrorism.โ€ It said the group ''disavows a strategy that deliberately targets civilians,โ€ but noted that civilians had โ€œbeen victims of incidents claimed by or attributed to the ANC.โ€
