Apartheid
What is Apartheid?
The term
apartheid
(from the Afrikaans word for
"apartness
") was coined in the
1930s
, but the policy itself extends back to the beginning of white settlers (
the Dutch
) in
South Africa
in
1652
.
Apartheid became a
law in 1948
in South Africa.Slide4
How did the British enforce Apartheid?
The Population Registration Act of 1950
Put all South Africans into three racial categories:
Bantu
(black African),
White,
or
Colored (of mixed race). A fourth category, Asian (Indians and Pakistanis), was added later. Slide5
Afrikaner Nationalists’ policies
The system of
apartheid
was enforced by a series of laws passed in the 1950s:
The Group Areas Act of 1950
assigned races to different residential and business sections in urban areas
Other laws prohibited most social interaction between the races, enforced the
segregation of public facilities, created
race-specific
jobs, and minimized nonwhite participation in government. Slide6

Young, black South Africans looking in on a game of soccer at an all-white school in Johannesburg. Government spending, about 10 times more for white children than for black, clearly showed the inequality designed to give whites more economic and political power. Poorly trained teachers, overcrowded classrooms, and inadequate recreational facilities were normal for black children, if in fact they had any schooling available at all. Slide8
More Signs of ApartheidSlide9
Local Response to Apartheid
A number of black political groups, often supported by sympathetic whites, opposed apartheid using a variety of tactics, including
violence, strikes
,
demonstrations,
and
sabotage
- strategies that often met with severe consequences from the government.
By 1985, Britain and the United States began trade embargoes against South Africa.Slide10
Nelson Mandela & F.W. de Klerk
Throughout the years of
Apartheid,
two groups were working to end this South African regime
– the African National Congress
led by Nelson Mandela, and
the Pan African Congress.
Riots and fighting took place constantly, and Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life in prison for his work against the regime. Eventually, the South African government had to admit that their policy of apartheid had no place in the modern world.
In 1990, South African
President F.W. de Klerk
agreed to allow the ANC to operate as a legal party and he released Nelson Mandela from prison after he had served
27
years in prison.
de Klerk also began to repeal the apartheid laws. Slide11
Reform!!!
As antiapartheid pressure mounted within and outside of South Africa, the South African government, led by
President F. W. de Klerk
, began to dismantle the apartheid system in the early 1990s.
In 1994 the country's constitution was
rewritten
and free general elections were held for the first time in its history, and with
Nelson Mandela's election as South Africa's first black president, the last remnants of the apartheid system were finally outlawed.
