The South African apartheid system was officially implemented in 1948 and lasted until the early 1990s. It was a policy of racial segregation and discrimination enforced by the National Party government, which privileged the white population while oppressing non-white groups. The apartheid era came to an end with the first multiracial elections in 1994, leading to Nelson Mandela's election as the first black president of South Africa. The dismantling of apartheid marked a significant turning point in the country's history and global human rights movements.
