Answer:

They were sent to prison.

After leading an armed struggle against the government, the leaders of the ANC were ultimately sent to prison. This marked a significant turning point in their fight for freedom and equality in South Africa.

Being imprisoned did not diminish their resolve, but rather reinforced their commitment to the cause. While incarcerated, they continued to inspire and mobilize their supporters, keeping the flame of resistance alive.
