Question

Why and when was the apartheid introduced in south Africa and what disastrous effect it had on the blacks in the country ? plz tell me fast​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1948 a system aimed at racial discrimination came into effect after the White-only National Party government came into power. The policy served to formalize and legitimize the racial exploitation which was heralded by discovery of diamonds in Kimberly and gold in Johannesburg in the 1860s. History tells us that exploitation and slavery of Blacks had begun long before the diamonds and gold discovery, when South African indigenous people were dispossessed of their land.

Apartheid aimed at segregating both Blacks from Whites, and the different ethnic groups within the black population.
