Question

Explain the struggle of the south African people against apartheid system or racial discrimination or the policy of segregation.

Answer 1

Apartheid was a political and social system in South Africa while it was under white minority rule. ... The word apartheid means "apartness" in Afrikaans. Racial segregation had been used for centuries but when the new policy started in 1948 it was strict and more systematic.

The apartheid system in South Africa was ended through a series of negotiations between 1990 and 1993 and through unilateral steps by the de Klerk government. These negotiations took place between the governing National Party, the African National Congress, and a wide variety of other political organisations.
