How did South African Apartheid happen, and how did it finally end? - Thula Simpson
Explore how Dutch and British colonization of South Africa led to Apartheid, the strict national policy of racial segregation.
--
For 46 years, South Africans lived under Apartheid, a strict policy of segregation that barred the country’s Black majority from skilled, high-paying jobs, quality education, voting, and much more. So, how did these laws come to be? And how did this era of institutionalized discrimination finally come to an end? Thula Simpson explores how colonization led to the national trauma of Apartheid.

Why South Africa is still so segregated
How centuries of division built one of the most unequal countries on earth.
Subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications (🔔) http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
For decades, South Africa was under apartheid: a series of laws that divided people by race. Then, in the 1990s, those laws were dismantled. But many of the barriers they created continue to divide South Africans by skin color - which in turn determines their quality of life, access to jobs, and wealth. Racial division was built into the fabric of cities throughout South Africa, and it still hasn't been uprooted.
That's partly because, while apartheid was the culmination of South Africa's racial divisions, it wasn't the beginning of them. That story starts closer to the 1800s, when the British built a network of railroads that transforme...

Why do South Africans compare Apartheid to Israel’s occupation?
For decades, the South African heroes who led the anti-Apartheid struggle in their country compared the repression of white-supremacist Apartheid South Africa to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land.
Ahead of the International Court of Justice’s initial decision on whether it will accept South Africa’s request for provisional measures against Israel - who it alleges has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza - @ainajkhan delves into a brief history of South African allyship with the Palestinian cause.

Apartheid Explained | Nelson Mandela’s Battle
Charisma, poise and strength of character. These are but a few words to describe the man who’s treacherous journey from political prisoner to becoming the first Black president of South Africa, is perhaps the most widely celebrated underdog story in modern African history.
Known all around the world as a symbol of the never ending fight against racism and discrimination, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela’s successful fight against the deeply oppressive system of apartheid in his home county of South Africa would see him become the very embodiment of his famous maxim: “it always seems impossible until it is done.”

This 1957 documentary explores South Africa's apartheid policy, focusing on issues such as race relations, political practices, and segregated dwellings. The film includes several interviews with black and Afrikaner political leaders.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
Apartheid (from Afrikaans "the state of being apart") was a system of racial segregation enforced through legislation by the National Party governments, who were the ruling party from 1948 to 1994, of South Africa, under which the rights of the majority black inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and white supremacy and Afrikaner minority rule was maintained. Apartheid was developed after World War 2 by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party and Broederbond organizations and was practiced also in South West Africa, which was administered by South Africa under a League of Nations mandate, until it gained independence as Namibia in 1990.
Racial segregation in South Africa began in colonial times under Dutch and British rule. However, apartheid as an official policy was introduced following the general election of 1948. New legislation classified inhabitants into four racial groups ("native", "white", "colored", and "Asian"), and residential areas were segregated, sometimes by means of forced removals. Non-white political representation was completely abolished in 1970, and starting in that year black people were deprived of their citizenship, legally becoming citizens of one of ten 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 inferior to those of white people.
Apartheid sparked significant internal resistance and violence as well as a long arms and trade embargo against South Africa. Since the 1950s, a series of popular uprisings and protests were met with the banning of opposition and imprisoning of anti-apartheid leaders. As unrest spread and became more effective and militarized, state organizations responded with repression and violence. This, along with the sanctions placed on South Africa by the West made it increasingly difficult for the government to maintain the regime.
Reforms to apartheid in the 1980s failed to quell the mounting opposition, and in 1990 President Frederik Willem de Klerk began negotiations to end apartheid, culminating in multi-racial democratic elections in 1994, which were won by the African National Congress under Nelson Mandela. The vestiges of apartheid still shape South African politics and society. Although the official abolishment of Apartheid occurred in 1990 with repeal of the last of the remaining Apartheid laws, the end of Apartheid is widely regarded as arising from the 1994 democratic general elections.
The Apartheid Legislation:
The Apartheid Legislation in South Africa was a series of different laws and acts which were to help the apartheid-government to enforce the segregation of different races and cement the power and the dominance by the Whites, of substantially European descent, over the other race groups. Starting in 1948, the Nationalist Government in South Africa enacted laws to define and enforce segregation. With the enactment of apartheid laws in 1948, racial discrimination was institutionalized. The effect of the legislation was invariably favorable to the whites and detrimental to the non-white racial groups namely the Colored's, Indians and Blacks.
What makes South Africa's apartheid era different from segregation in other countries is the systematic way in which the National Party formalized the Apartheid rules through the law.
Mandela:
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative, multiracial election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalized racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically an African nationalist and democratic socialist, he served as the President of the African National Congress from 1991 to 1997. Mandela served 27 years in prison.

The effect of the legislation was invariably favorable to the whites and detrimental to the non-white racial groups namely the Colored's, Indians and Blacks.
What makes South Africa's apartheid era different from segregation in other countries is the systematic way in which the National Party formalized the Apartheid rules through the law.
Mandela:
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative, multiracial election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalized racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically an African nationalist and democratic socialist, he served as the President of the African National Congress from 1991 to 1997. Mandela served 27 years in prison.

In the past few centuries, few corners of the African Continent were quite as busy as the south. It's a winding river from the first migrations and waves of colonists in the Cape Colonies to the Rainbow Nation we know today, so let's dive in and see how it all played out!

Charisma, poise and strength of character. These are but a few words to describe the man who’s treacherous journey from political prisoner to becoming the first Black president of South Africa, is perhaps the most widely celebrated underdog story in modern African history.
Known all around the world as a symbol of the never ending fight against racism and discrimination, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela’s successful fight against the deeply oppressive system of apartheid in his home county of South Africa would see him become the very embodiment of his famous maxim: “it always seems impossible until it is done.”
