Both of the questions look certain to be school assignments. There is a huge body of information, back to time-of-the-tour news articles, readily available on line. Almost any search you do (, e.g., NZ protests +1981 Springbok tour) will get you the information. Don't forget to cite them properly as a source. Why don't you begin the research yourself, then if you have specific questions base don that, you can come back for further input. You do understand what "Springbok" means in this context, right? If you know the answer to that (hint: it is *not* the small African antelope of that name), then you probably can guess the answer to this question in the context of your class and the assignment.
