* It reduces the size the of the workforce, skilled and unskilled. * It causes serious social problems that are likely to cause economic problems in the medium and long term. For example, the early death of adult parents often means that teenagers have to bring up their younger siblings (brothers and sisters) instead of continuing their education. This in turn reduces the number of future skilled workers.

I would say apartheids, as in "the apartheids of South Africa and India." In this case, if the word "apartheid" was used, it would sound (to me, at least) like South Africa and India had gotten together and created a joint apartheid program.

IN my view the problem of untouchables is totally eradicated but somehow if it is still today i don't think they r treated very badly bcz now they are coming forward and they do not accept any kind of injustice done to them by the society and also knoweldge is being spread among the people on the issue of treating equaly because all men r created equally by god henceforth i think that there is not much of the problem on this issue people r becoming educated But still in rural areas and backward areas where people r not educated they follow these beliefs and treat them very badly.They behave as if they r the insignificant part of the society this is a great problem in villages and should make some efforts to eradicate it totally

MANY people contributed in the struggle for freedom, most notably:

The African National Congress (ANC), and their leaders like Nelson Mandela.

The United Nations and countries in general - placing strict sanctions on South Africa, making it almost impossible for them to export or import. This affected the economy badly, putting pressure on the government to get rid of the racial-segregation laws in the country. In addition, politicians in government like Helen Suzman, and others like Desmond Tutu fought against Apartheid.

The blacks were treated very badly. They had to stay in a whole other community than the whites. The blacks had to stay in home lands and the home lands were really bad. The blacks had to share every thing they had with the other blacks in the home lands. If the blacks worked for a white the black had to go miles to get to the white and the black had to have like a passport thing to go to the whites house.

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.

It meant that black people were unable to live any sort of reasoned life. All natural civil rights were taken away from them. They were segregated in education, when using public services and not even allowed to live in "White South Africa".

They were treated inhumanely and considered to be filth and filth.

The prime purpose for their education was to train them to be black labourers as it was considered all they were good for.

It still affects people today and all the other days.

Apartheid is the name for a collection of laws and policies enacted by the South African government, that stipulated a legal distinction between whites ("Europeans") and non-whites ("Black" or "Non-European"). This was due to a largely held white supremacist stance within the then ruling government, the National Party (Nasionale Party in Afrikaans). The most notable supporter of Apartheid was H. F. Verwoerd, also known as the Architect of Apartheid, who instituted the Bantu Education Act, knowing that poorly educated black people would pose a diminished threat to the white supremacist rule.

The term Apartheid was introduced during the 1948 as part of the election campaign by DF Malan's Herenigde Nasionale Party(HNP - 'Reunited National Party'). But racial segregation had been in force for many decades in South Africa. In hindsight, there is something of an inevitability in the way the country developed its extreme policies. When the Union of South Africa was formed on 31 May 1910, Afrikaner Nationalists were given a relatively free hand to reorganize the country's franchise according to existing standards of the now-incorporated Boer republics, the Zuid Afrikaansche Repulick (ZAR - South African Republic or Transvaal) and Orange Free State. Non-Whites in the Cape Colony had some representation, but this would prove to be short-lived.
