How and why was the system of apartheid set up?

Apartheid was established by the national list government of South Africa as a means of subjegating any non-white peoples of the country. It was established through both political and judicial means and enforced by the South African police force as well as the Army when required. The system of apartheid was a gross violation of human rights and while not supported by all white people in South Africa was nonetheless enforced by the government of the time.Apartheid in its most basic translation means "to keep apart" or to "separate". It is worth noting that other countries including the United States of America, England, Australia, and others followed apartheid practices at one point in their history even though they did not use the same name or necessarily have their policies enshrined in their laws.AnswerPlease also note that apartheid was not just in South Africa. 2 other South African nations, Zimbabwe and Namibia, were run under an apartheid system till they became independent both within the last 3 decades. AnswerBelieve it or not, but the initial idea with apartheid was in fact to build a stable South Africa. The basic idea was to have the different ethnic groups ruled by their own people in their own region (note: as stated above "Apartheid" means to 'separate'). And a lot of the Apartheid laws were aimed prevent these 'homelands' from collapsing. But very quickly after the idea was proposed, Kenya suffered the Mau Mau Revolt and focus of Apartheid was shifted to rather prevent something similar in South Africa as well. Thus it ended up as we know it today.Answer #3 this is what the gov told the world- it wasn't the reality
