Apartheid (1948-1994)
Beginning in 1948, in order to maintain control of the country in the face of the many new independent African states, the ruling white afrikaners established separate states and social rules for the black majority. This segregation prevented the black populace from gaining political or economic power within the country.
Resistance by demonstrations and by armed groups grew more frequent over the following decades. By 1990, international sanctions (and growing security problems) led the country's leaders to renounce apartheid and grant equal rights to all citizens. This has been an ongoing process, accelerated by the election of black leaders to high public offices, beginning with former political prisoner Nelson Mandela, who served as President from 1994 to 1999.
