Who were disadvantaged during apartheid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The majority of black South Africans were most disadvantaged during apartheid. They faced systemic racial discrimination, enforced segregation, limited access to education, healthcare, and other public services, restricted political rights, and were subject to harsh suppression and violence by the apartheid regime. Other non-white racial groups, such as Coloureds and Indians, also faced varying degrees of discrimination, but it was the black population that suffered the most severe and pervasive disadvantages.

How did the National Party Justify Apartheid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The National Party justified apartheid on the basis of creating separate development for different racial groups in South Africa. They argued that it was necessary to maintain the cultural and economic differences between races to ensure harmony and avoid conflict. They also believed that it was their duty to protect and preserve the Afrikaner culture and identity. However, these justifications were widely criticized for promoting racial discrimination and denying basic human rights.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dr. Verwoerd was the Prime Minister of South Africa from 1958 to 1966 and is regarded as one of the key architects of apartheid. He implemented policies that systematically enforced racial segregation, restricted the rights and opportunities of non-white citizens, and consolidated the power of white minority rule. Verwoerd's government also intensified the forced removals of black communities and oversaw the establishment of the Bantu Education system, which aimed to educate black students in a way that would perpetuate white supremacy.

How apartheid affected South Africa?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Apartheid was the tide of racism which threatened the humanity of non-white people across South Africa. In 1948 the first Apartheid Minister, Daniel Malan, was elected into office. By 1950 the first law requiring races to be registered with the state and Apartheid became a catalyst, igniting the nation in the war for civil rights. Through the horrors of the blatant racism South Africa began to form the seeds of what is now its firm grasp of civil rights.

What is the difference between apartheid and slavery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The world still has slavery in terms of forced sex work and forced labour, but those aren't based on ethnicity. In terms of slavery as a form of ethnic-based discrimination, there are differences between slavery and apartheid. Apartheid means segregation - being separate; Slavery is involuntary servitude. During the times when slavery was legal in the UK and the USA, slaves were not paid for their work and no thought was given to their education. During apartheid, servants (not slaves) were paid for work and had very good education and medical facilities compared to other African countries at that time. The education and medical facilities were race-based, so blacks had their own and whites had theirs. Another difference is that during slavery in the US and UK, slaves were their masters' property. In South Africa, servants were often looked down upon and seen as lesser-humans, but were never anyone's property to be bought and sold.
