Which TWO famous artists infamously put on concerts at Sun City in the Bophuthatswana homeland?

1.3.5

Quote a phrase from the source that indicates that the boycotts and sanctions against South Africa played a significant role in the negotiations to end apartheid.
SOURCE 1C This source presents an extract from an article by Chris McGreal that was published in The Guardian. The content of this article focusses on international anti-apartheid boycott. The rise of the popular anti-apartheid boycott over nearly 30 years made its mark on South Africans who were increasingly confronted by a repudiation (rejection) of their system. Ordinary Europeans pressured supermarkets to stop selling South African products. British students forced Barclays Bank to pull out of the apartheid state. The refusal of a Dublin shop worker to ring up a Cape grapefruit led to a strike and then a total ban on South African imports by the Irish government. By the mid-1980s, one in four Britons said they were boycotting South African goods a testament to the reach of the anti-apartheid campaign. By then it was well entrenched in universities as one of the great left causes of the day, alongside the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and support for the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. The musician's union blocked South African artists from playing on the BBC, and the cultural boycott saw most performers refusing to play in the apartheid state, although some, including Elton John and Queen, infamously put on concerts at Sun City in the Bophuthatswana homeland. The US didn't have the same sporting or cultural ties, and imported far fewer South African products, but the mobilisation against apartheid in universities, churches and through local coalitions in the 1980s was instrumental in forcing the hand of American politicians and big business in favour of financial sanctions and divestment. By the time President FW de Klerk was ready to release Mandela and negotiate an end to apartheid, a big selling point for part of the white population was an end to boycotts and isolation.

Anti-Apartheid policies refer to any opposition against laws and policies on racial segregation in South and South West Africa. These policies ensured that the black Africans were not socially, politically and economically by the nation's white minority. Anti-apartheid initiatives in the United States were primarily spearheaded by nonprofit organizations and human rights organisations. After the United Nations implemented a cultural ban on South Africa in the early 1980s, the casino resort of Sun City became a focus of anti-apartheid attention. The Pretoria government was circumventing the ban by using the resort in Bophuthatswana.
