Best Answer

Beginning in 1948, the ruling white Afrikaners established separate states and social rules for the black majority in order to maintain control of the country in the face of the many new independent African states. This segregation prevented the black populace from gaining political or economic power within the country.

The Apartheid movement came about because black Africans wanted to be treated with equal rights. Black people had been segregated for long and wished to live in dignity and enjoy equal opportunities with other people.
