Recent South Africa
In 1948 the policy of
apartheid was established. Apartheid rigidly separated racial groups into black, white,
Asian & coloured (mixed ancestry). Mixing of the races was strictly prohibited & each lived
in designated
areas. After years of violence & suppression by Afrikaaners apartheid was
finally dismantled in 1992. In 1993 the country's
first multiracial elections were held.
Famed activist Nelson Mandela won an overwhelming victory. In 1996 a
new constitution was
introduced to ensure equality.
