Opposition to Botha came in many different forms - internally and externally, but also white and black - internally, rising numbers of opponent groups used a variety of actions to oppose Botha’s apartheid regime
They also varied in terms of their aims - what they were actually trying to achieve depended on the members of the specific resistance group
External resistance was often indirect and carried out through non-conflictual means
A greater rise in opposition mainly came about because of the 1983 constitution - with Indians, Coloureds and Blacks all boycotting their respective elections within the new political system
