How was the apartheid created in South Africa?
Apartheid was a system of racial segregation in South Africa, from 1948 to 1994. It was a form of legalized racial inequality. Apartheid means "separateness" in the Afrikaans language. It consisted of numerous laws that allowed the ruling white minority in South Africa to segregate and exploit (and in many cases terrorize) the vast majority of the natives and residents. This mainly affected "black" Africans, but also Asians and "Coloureds" (people of mixed race).
In 1958, apartheid effectively removed the citizenship status of non-whites, relegating them to ostensibly "self-governing" tribal lands, or bantustans. After popular uprisings and international sanctions over 4 decades, the system was finally dismantled. In the first multiracial elections in 1994, Nelson Mandela (a popular leader and victim of political imprisonment) became the first black President of South Africa.
It should also be mentioned that completely separate facilities were created for white and "non-whites" - such as separate beaches, separate queues in shops, separate school's, separate counters in shops, separate coaches on trains and buses, separate living and living areas (the Group Areas Act)... the list goes on!
Apartheid is the Law system in which segregates black South Africans from White South Africans. Apartheid (meaning separateness in Africans, cognate to English apart and -hood) was a system of legalized racial segregation enforced by the National Party (NP) South African government between 1948 and 1994. It arose from a history of settler rule and Dutch and British colonialism, which became policies of separation after South Africa gained self-government as a dominion within the British Empire and were expanded and formalised into a system of legitimised racism and white nationalism after 1948. Apartheid was dismantled in a series of negotiations from 1990 to 1993, culminating in elections in 1994, the first in South Africa with universal suffrage, but the legacies of apartheid still shape South African politics and society.

What were Daniel François Malan's views on apartheid?
The very term 'Apartheid' was first coined as a political term in the Afrikaner Nationalist Newspaper 'Die Burger' in 1943 to describe a policy of racial seperation and seperate development. In fact the very Newspaper 'Die Burger' was founded by Dr Malan in 1915 to serve as the mouthpiece for the newly formed National Party in the Cape region. Now Dr Malan who was the longtime leader of the National Party when they won the 1948 election running on the platform of "Apartheid".
Now when Dr Malan first got into office as Prime Ministerhe didnt have any real solid ideas on how to implement Apartheid into legislation. Dr Malans only real ideas was for stricter job reservations protecting the rights of the White working class from the mass of cheap Black labour. Also the rights of White workers to form trade unions independent of company control. But besides these points he didnt have any ideas. But that all changed in 1950 when he appointed the editor of "Die Transvaler" newspaper, Dr VerwoerdasMinister ofBantu Affairs. It was Dr Verwoerd who with his own creativity and ambitionimplemented theApartheid laws into practice. You must remember,Dr Malan was a old man his late 70s while he was Prime Minister, he waslargerly a figurehead of state. Allowing his trusted Ministers to run their own affairs and gave them a free hand to establish Apartheid.
Men like Dr Verwoerd, Johannes Strijdom,Theophilus Donges, Charles Robberts Swart, Johannes de Klerk, Nicolaas Diederichs, Balthazar Vorster, Jacobus Fouche and Paul Sauer were the so called "Architects of Apartheid" who created the successful system of Seperate Development in South Africa in the 1950s and 60s.
