Apartheid and Mandela

Apartheid was the racial segregation that were the lifestyle of both the White and Black population of South Africa, the National Party governments in South Africa between 1948 and 1994 enforced the Apartheid. It was the White supremacy was the normal thing at that time. Afrikaner minority was maintained.
Apartheid was developed after the Second World War by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party and Broederbond organizations and was also practiced in South West Africa.



In the colonial times it was the first sign of racial segregation. However apartheid was introduced officially in the general election of 1948.
A new legislation classified inhabitants into four racial groups. The Natives, The Whites, The Coloured and the Asians. Also areas were segregated, sometimes by forced removals.

Apartheid sparked significant internal resistance and violence as well as a long 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 violent, state organisations responded with increasing repression and state-sponsored violence.

Apartheid began to rise up and more and more began to help apartheid to becoming big.
Also violence began to come when apartheid was becoming big.
An example of apartheid was when the, later president, Nelson Mandela was put in jail.
The speech Mandela had when he became free.
