Apartheid.
Apartheid /Afrikaans: [aˈpartɦəit]
meaning : "separateness").
Apartheid was a system of institutionalised racial discrimination that existed in South Africa from 1948 until the early 1990s.
Apartheid was characterised by an authoritarian political culture based on white supremacy, which encouraged Black African, Coloured, and Asian South Africans for the benefit of the nation's minority white population.
The economic legacy and social effects of apartheid have continued to present day.
In 1990, ANC leaders such as Nelson Mandela were released from detention. Apartheid legislation was abolished in mid-1991, pending multiracial elections set for April 1994.
