NOTE
PRELUDE TO APARTHEID
Apartheid, meaning "separateness" in Afrikaans, was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination that existed in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. However, its roots can be traced back to the colonial era when European settlers began to establish dominance over the indigenous African populations. The 1913 Land Act, for example, restricted black South Africans from owning or renting land in areas designated for white settlement, laying the groundwork for further segregation policies.
Apartheid Legislation and the Suppression of African Nationalist Movement
The apartheid regime formalized its oppressive policies through a series of laws that enforced racial segregation and discrimination. These laws, such as the Population Registration Act (1950), Group Areas Act (1950), and Pass Laws, effectively restricted the movement, employment, and rights of black South Africans. Additionally, the government used brutal tactics to suppress dissent, including the banning of political organizations like the African National Congress (ANC) and the imprisonment of its leaders, most notably Nelson Mandela.
External Reaction to Apartheid
Internationally, there was widespread condemnation of apartheid and calls for its dismantlement. The United Nations passed resolutions condemning apartheid and imposed sanctions on South Africa, including an arms embargo. Civil society organizations and individuals around the world also mobilized in support of the anti-apartheid movement, advocating for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the regime.
The O.A.U. and Apartheid
The Organization of African Unity (OAU), founded in 1963, played a significant role in mobilizing African nations against apartheid. The OAU declared apartheid a crime against humanity and supported the struggle for liberation in South Africa. Member states provided financial and moral support to anti-apartheid movements, and the OAU worked closely with the ANC and other liberation organizations in their quest for freedom and equality. Ultimately, the concerted efforts of the international community, including organizations like the OAU, contributed to the downfall of apartheid and the establishment of a democratic South Africa.
