From 1948-91, the policy of racial discrimination known as apartheid plagued the country of South Africa. Apartheid was a system of laws and measures designed to oppress the rights of blacks while maintaining white supremacy within the ranks of the government as well as society. These rules and regulations were often harsh and unjust in nature. It is ironic that in a world so determined to attain peace, apartheid continued for as long as it did. As brutal and appalling as apartheid was, it did not receive near the recognition that an event such as the OKC Bombing. The bombing was the worst act of terrorism ever committed on United States soil, yet thousands more black men, women and children were killed in more torturous ways during the reign of apartheid. Apartheid, at least from a Christian perspective, is one of the greatest sins ever committed by mankind. It is reassuring to know that all can be forgiven through God's amazing grace. This page will cycle through the history of apartheid, its key laws and figures, its resolution, and the current state of South Africa.

∙ 12y agoby separating the black population's living areas from those occupied by white people and enforcing segragation. It helped that the South African Government was supported by the USA and UK as South Africa's army was involved in keeping the Russians out of Southern Africa (the SA Defence Force was fighting againt 60 000 Cubans at times).
SA kept the communists away from the strategic minerals and the southern sea routes to the Gulf. When Russia collapsed, US & UK support disappeared, SA's nuclear bombs were dismantled and the ANC unbanned and brought to power. You won't find this in most history books unless you go looking for it.
