The apartheid era is famous for the oppression that was carried out on behalf of the state against South Africa's many anti-apartheid activists.Although apartheid formally ended in the early 1990s, the many legacies it left behind are still prevalent in South Africa and thus the term is still widely used inpolicy documentsthat aim to pave the way for a better South Africa.The term apartheid is often used to describe attempts by other states to achieveethnic cleansing. Activists rely on the sympathy that the term invokes to win support in other parts of the world. Most recently, Palestinian rights groups have accused Israel of being guilty of apartheid.
