The ethnic group that primarily supported the separation of races in South Africa was the Afrikaners, descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers. They established the system of apartheid in 1948, which enforced racial segregation and discrimination against the non-white population. This policy was rooted in their desire to maintain political and economic dominance in the country. The Afrikaner National Party played a key role in institutionalizing these racial divisions.
