Non-violent at first but became militant.

Early resistance (e.g., the 1952 Defiance Campaign, the 1955 Freedom Charter) relied on civil disobedience and mass nonviolent protest. After the 1960 Sharpeville massacre and the banning of ANC/PAC, leaders like Nelson Mandela helped form Umkhonto we Sizwe (1961) and the struggle shifted to armed/sabotage tactics.
