apartheid?
• Apartheid is a system of racial segregation that was implemented by the
Afrikaner National Party in South Africa from 1948 to 1994.
• The English word for Apartheid is Apartness.
• This system of government divided racial groups making the white race supreme
than other races.
• The supremacy of whites gave them right to rule and control the country, no
other race was lawfully allowed to.
• The race that is found to be mostly impacted by this system is that of
blacks/natives.
