What is the meaning of apartheid?
The word "apartheid" means segregation. It commonly refers to the laws which governed the Republic of South Africa during the period from the 1950s up until 1990. Apartheid laws in South Africa favoured white supremacy and largely marginilised the non white communities. The apartheid era is famous for the oppression that was carried out on behalf of the state against South Africa's many anti-apartheid activists. Although apartheid formally ended in the early 1990s, the many legacies it left behind are still prevalent in South Africa and thus the term is still widely used in policy documents that aim to pave the way for a better South Africa. The term apartheid is often used to describe attempts by other states to achieve ethnic cleansing. Activists rely on the sympathy that the term invokes to win support in other parts of the world. Most recently, Palestinian rights groups have accused Israel of being guilty of apartheid. In other cases, human rights groups have accused Arab states of apartheid by treating Shiite and other minority sectarian groups as second class citizens.

What role did the US play in South Africa's transformation to a democracy?
The US had nothing to do with the creation of South Africa's electoral system, which was established when South Africa became a British Dominion (like Canada or Australia) in 1910. South Africa has consistently been a democracy from that point onward and the US was wholly irrelevant in that process. While Apartheid existed from 1948-1992, this did not stop South Africa from being democratic; it is simply a question of limited suffrage. This is the same as the Southern US States under the Jim Crow Laws from the 1870s to the 1960s, which were still democratic, even though they had segregation laws.If by "democracy" you are are referring to the repeal of Apartheid in 1992, the main influence that the US exerted was economic pressure on South Africa by way of an embargo. The US also exerted some of its diplomatic influence to further isolate the Apartheid South African government.
