Apartheid

They buried them or burned them if there were too many to bury.

It hasn't ended completely, but the famous forced segregation (apartheid) laws were in place for 41 years, from 1948 to 1989. A democratic government was elected in 1994, which is the official year of the end of apartheid, but legally everyone was free to go as they pleased since 1989. Apartheid was very much about the government and control of the whole country as well as segregation, and not just civil rights as in America, because by far the majority of South Africans are black. Although the whites were eventually a very small minority in 1989, the demographics were a bit different after the second world war. In 1948, when Apartheid commenced, South Africa's population was roughly two-thirds black. It is not a coincidence that segregation ended immediately after the Berlin wall came down, signaling the end of communism. The opposition to the white minority government, the African National Congress, had an ideology of communism as it's official system of economic government. Although Apartheid was a racist system, it was also the only other option to a communist South Africa. The white government not only had to deal with civil rights issues and politics, but economics too. If they had relinquished power before the end of communism, they would have simultaneously given away all their property and personal belongings as well. Seen in it's own light, residential segregation was extremely successful and continues (informally) to this day. This arrangement will not end for some time, as it is a natural occurrence all over the globe.

Senate of South Africa ended in 1981.

The prohibition of the mixed marriages act during apartheid had a major effect on the economy in South Africa. in 1949 mixed marriages were banned and that immorality act became one of the first legislation act for the apartheid.

In 1990, when Mandela was released from Robben Island prison, apartheid slowly bagan diminishing, but was finally abolished in 1994 with the first democratic election

South Africa

it main purpose was to ensure white domination(minority of the population) over blacks(majority) politicaly,education wise and lively hood wise.

Yes.

It means after the apartheid era.

Boers

Well not many people know this but yes there were people fighting against each other etc. etc.

But the main reason apartheid was scraped from the books is because a few years back there was a vote where 51% of the white population voted against apartheid and that black people should have a vote while the other 49% voted for aparthed (I can be wrong but it really is this close). It was decided that black people should have the right to vote by 51% of white people because they originally didn't have a vote. This caused Mandela to come out of prison eventually.

Thus, it wasn't Mandela or anyone from ANC who made apartheid stop but actually the white people who where sick and tired of fighting for something that would inevitably be lost.

Apartheid was a system of racial segregation in South Africa that was enforced through legislation from 1948 to 1994. Black rights and movement were severely curtailed.

Only Nelson Mandela can answer this question definitively. However it seems unlikely that, given his life of sacrafice and fighting for black causes, he would reverse his course now.

the reason apartheid was solved was because the chinese destroyed everyone in world war three. Everyone was dead except for the chinese so aparthied was solved. They still had to pay indian tax.

Nelson Mandela stopped apartheid because he believed it was cruel to seperate the blacks from the whites. He wanted it to come to an end.

They were taught all the education known by their parents. the education needed for daily lives. ONLY the whites were allowed for education and NOT the blacks. they werent allowed basic rights such as education. Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid when he was a lawyer and was sent to jail for 27 years! he fought against apartheid for more than 55 years! finally he gave up his job as a lawyer to become a president to enjoy the freedom he had fought so hard.

Kaffir Boy: The True Story of a Black Youth's Coming of Age in Apartheid South Africa is Mark Mathabane's 1986 autobiography about life under the South African apartheid regime. It focuses on the brutality of the apartheid system and how he escaped from it, and from the township Alexandra, to become a well-known tennis player.

The richest South African family is Jewish (Oppenheimers) and they've been the wealthiest since at least before apartheid started. They did not do much to fight apartheid, they just rode the political wave and positioned themselves so that they'd still be making money which ever way the tides went.

Nelson Mandela believed that the secret to revolting and ending apartheid was education.

i think the cause of the insurgency in south Thailand is because of the Muslim in the south and they want to be independence from thai govenment

Stephen Biko was a Black South African who stood up for the wellbeing of his people and was strongly opinionated. He fought for black consciousness and was aiming to inspire and encourage black pride. Unlike Mandela Biko didn't scheme to bring down the apartheid he spread his word, Biko spent his time preaching to Black South Africans. In 1977 Biko died while held in prison, his death remained in the lives of the Black South Africans and the ANC used Biko's face as a campaign for the South African non-racial election.

Unlike Larceny, Apartheid, which was government policy in the Union ( now Republic) of South Africa, was not divided into classes, ranks or degrees, such as Petty or Grand larceny where the dividing line used to be $20. Apartheid was a government policy.
