The History of Apartheid in S.Africa

Apartheid Laws enacted in 1948 by the National Party, racial discrimination becomes institutionalized Classification of people into 4 racial categories: Black, White, Indian, and Coloured Race laws touch every aspect of social life “White only” laws-blacks had to carry passbooks Equivalent- Jim Crow laws in the US

United States

Homelands Semi- independent areas occupied by blacks

Homelands

Strict Law Gov’t allowed some to live outside homelands –To work certain jobs Pass laws –Split families

Sharpsville Massacre March 21 *On this date in 1960, police in Sharpeville, near Johannesburg, fired on Black South Africans protesting racially biased pass laws. The protesters suffered 72 deaths and more than 200 injuries in two days of violence

Nelson Mandela Arrested in 1962 for opposing the apartheid laws The African National Congress was a banned organization, he was a part of it In jail until 1990

Desmond Tutu Another leader against apartheid Religious leader

Tutu Quotations "When missionaries came to South Africa, we had the land, they had the Bible. Then they told us, 'Let's close our eyes and pray.' When we opened our eyes we saw that we have the Bible, they have the land." "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."

How did the world react to Apartheid? A lot of countries boycotted South Africa during Apartheid: they refused to buy its products. Film and pop stars refused to perform in South Africa

The world of sports against Apartheid South Africa was absent from international sport events for most of the apartheid era due to sanctions A lot of teams and champions refused to compete either in South Africa or against South Africa

Resistance to Apartheid African National Congress (ANC) played an important role, not always peaceful (some terrorism and military efforts launched from neighboring countries) Schoolchildren a major source of protest 1976 Soweto riots prompted by introduction of Afrikaans language as language of instruction in schools Torture, imprisonment, rigged trials widely used against activists; state of emergency Serious political violence in the townships throughout 1980s (e.g., rent boycotts, militant youth) Violent confrontation; outright war seemed likely before apartheid’s end

Why did apartheid end? Cost of apartheid for white minority became too great Economy stagnant World trade sanctions F. W. de Klerk became president of S.A. in 1990 –Legalized the ANC –Began negotiations to end apartheid –Released Mandela from prison

The first black president: Nelson Mandela He was the most important antiapartheid leader He spent 27 years in prison for his ideas In 1994 he became the first black president after the first free elections in South Africa: for the first time the black people could vote in their own country.
