The term Apartheid was introduced during the 1948 as part of the election campaign by DF Malan's Herenigde Nasionale Party(HNP - 'Reunited National Party'). But racial segregation had been in force for many decades in South Africa. In hindsight, there is something of an inevitability in the way the country developed its extreme policies. When the Union of South Africa was formed on 31 May 1910, Afrikaner Nationalists were given a relatively free hand to reorganize the country's franchise according to existing standards of the now-incorporated Boer republics, the Zuid Afrikaansche Repulick (ZAR - South African Republic or Transvaal) and Orange Free State. Non-Whites in the Cape Colony had some representation, but this would prove to be short-lived.
Apartheid was started in South Africa after the General Election victory of the National Party in 1948, before 1948 there had been racial segregation unofficially, but after 1948 New legislation classified inhabitants into racial groups: "black", "white", "coloured", and "Indian". Residential areas were segregated sometimes by force. In 1958, black people were deprived of their citizenship, legally becoming citizens of one of ten tribally based "self-governing" homelands called bantustans. The government segregated education, medical care, and all other public services, and provided black people with services inferior to those of white people.
