This article is about apartheid in South Africa
  • partAheid (Afrikaans pronunciation ?'part??it
    an Afrikaans1 word meaning "separateness", or
    "the state of being apart", literally "apart
    -hood")23 was a system of racial segregation
    in South Africa enforced through legislation by
    the National Party (NP), the governing party from
    1948 to 1994. Under apartheid, the rights,
    associations, and movements of the majority black
    inhabitants and other ethnic groups were
    curtailed, and white minority rule was
    maintained. Apartheid was developed after World
    War II by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party
    and Broederbond organisations. The ideology was
    also enforced in South West Africa, which was
    administered by South Africa under a League of
    Nations mandate (revoked in 1966 via United
    Nations Resolution 2145),4 until it gained
    independence as Namibia in 1990.5 By extension,
    the term is currently used for forms of
    systematic segregation established by the state
    authority in a country against the social and
    civil rights of a certain group of citizens due
    to ethnic prejudices.6

  • Racial segregation in South Africa began in
    colonial times under the Dutch Empire, and
    continued when the British took over the Cape of
    Good Hope in 1795.7 Apartheid as an officially
    structured policy was introduced after the
    general election of 1948. Legislation classified
    inhabitants into four racial groups  "black",
    "white", "coloured", and "Indian", the last two
    of which were divided into several
    sub-classifications8  and residential areas
    were segregated. From 1960 to 1983, 3.5 million
    non-white South Africans were removed from their
    homes, and forced into segregated neighbourhoods,
    in one of the largest mass removals in modern
    history.9 Non-white political representation
    was abolished in 1970, and starting in that year
    black people were deprived of their citizenship,
    legally becoming citizens of one of 10 tribally
    based self-governing homelands called bantustans,
    four of which became nominally independent
    states. The government segregated education,
    medical care, beaches, and other public services,
    and provided black people with services that were
    inferior to those of white people.
