Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination enforced by the South African government from 1948 until the early 1990s. It classified the population into racial groups, with white citizens enjoying privileges and rights that were denied to non-white populations, particularly black South Africans. The policy led to widespread social unrest, resistance movements, and international condemnation, culminating in its dismantling and the election of Nelson Mandela as the first black president in 1994. Apartheid's legacy still impacts South African society today.
