APARTHEID

Apartheid does not happen spontaneously, like bad weather conditions.
Jonathan Kozol

Apartheid was a system of racial segregation enforced by the National Party governments of South Africa between 1948 and 1994, under which the rights of the majority non-white inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and white supremacy and Afrikaner minority rule was maintained. Apartheid was developed after World War II by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party and Broederbond organizations and was practiced also in South West Africa, administered by South African under a League of Nations mandate (revoked in 1966), until it gained independence as Namibia in 1990.
