Moontlike invloede van 'n politieke stelsel op 'n land se mense.
Die invloed wat 'n politieke stelsel van 'n land op sy inwoners het is baie groter as wat ons somtyds besef. Op die oog af byvoorbeeld lyk Suid-Afrika na 'n land waarin die mense almal totale gelykheid ervaar. Indien daar egter dieper gekyk word is dit glad nie die waarheid nie.

Suid-Afrika word tans deur die ANC (African National Congress) regeer. Dit is die regerende party op nasionale vlak en in die meesrderheid van ons provinsies. Die huidige president is president Thabo Mbeki. Die land het 'n federale parlmentêre demokratiese republiek waarin die president van Suid-Afrika (soos gekies deur die parlement) die hoof van die regering is. Daar is egter talle gevalle waaruit dit blyk dat die land nie werklik demokraties regeer word nie. Swart mense strek baie meer voordeel uit die wet as blankes. Dit kom grootliks voor as gevolg van die begeerte om die wanbalanse van die verlede (apartheid) te herstel. Voor die demokrasie gestig is in 1994, tydens apartheid, was daar baie groot wanbalanse in die land. Daar is gediskrimineer teenoor swart mense terwyl die meerderheid van wit mense in weelde geleef het. Apatheid was dus 'n skeiding tussen rasse. Die invloed wat apartheid op Suid-Afrika se mense gehad het kan steeds duidelik in die land waargeneem word. Daar is steeds 'n skeiding tussen die woonbuurte van verskeie rasse groepe. Hoewel dit nou baie kleiner is, is dit steeds daar. Ryk en middel inkomste blankes woon in welgestelde buurte in goeie gebiede van dorpe en stede terwyl die arm swartes aan die buite wyke van die dorpe en stede in plakkerskampe woon. Die lewensgehalte in hierdie plakkerskampe is baie primitief weens swak ontwikkelde infrastruktuur. Slegs enkele plakkerskampe geniet die voordele van elektrisiteit, water en riool stelsels. Daar is dus ook swak sanitasie en die kampe wat wel oor elektrisiteir beskik se inwoners verdien dikwels nie genoeg geld om van hierdie dienste gebruik te maak nie. Swak sosio-ekonomiese toestande in die plakkerskampe lei ook

    How do think the natives of South Africa feel when the whites came to South Africa, took over and made them fourth class citizens, made an unjustifiable system that only whites benefit from, and made Afrikaans the official language? Mark Mathabane is the author of Kaffir Boy and grew up as an unprivileged black boy in the Apartheid system. South Africa is controlled by the white minority and has been that way for most of the 20th century (the 1900s) and the main problem was Apartheid. Apartheid is a system made for blacks to flounder and for only whites to profit from and Mark has advantages through this system even though he is black by learning different languages such as Afrikaans and English. Afrikaans is a language that originated from the African continent that whites use and force onto blacks. Mark’s ability to learn and to speak several languages gave him power within the Apartheid system by learning Afrikaans, English and Tribal languages.…

    The term "apartheid" was one of the most politically charged words in the second half of the 20th century, and still remains notorious today. Apartheid translated from Afrikaans means "separateness" or "apartness". However when the National Party came to power in South Africa in 1948, it took on a much more sinister meaning and today is associated with racial and ethnic discrimination. The roots of apartheid stem deep into South African history. It started way back during European settlement, and was enforced and maintained right up until the end of the 20th Century. It will forever leave a mark on South Africa and indeed the world; a dark period in human history from which we have and will continue to learn.…

    In the 1900’s. South Africa was under rule of a black apartheid. This system ranked black South Africans, who consisted of the majority, only slightly higher than slaves. A man named Nelson Mandela went on a life-long mission to destroy the ways of the unfair government, and provide equal rights for all citizens. He fought his way up in society to preach his views, and faced many impediments along the way.…

    In this essay I will discuss two different Interpretations of why apartheid ended. The first I will discuss them. The role of Nelson Mandela, with his leadership of the ANC, the 27 years imprisonment in Robben Island. And finally Mandela becoming the first black president of South Africa. The second interpretation is a contrast which challenges the view that it was just Mandela, it says there are other factors such as a political leader Lilian Nyogi, and FW De Klerk who played a very crucial role. There is also the pressure of economic sanctions and the political pressure from neighbouring countries. And a final factor being the international sporting boycott which was a hard decisive blow to the apartheid era.…

    Therefore, this has been just one of many factors leading up to a time period where an overall revolution was needed and was in the process of slowly beginning. In South Africa there were elections held that were strictly “white only” in the electoral system. In this particular sight in Africa alone, serious debates that were occurring over matters and, issues that were faced in colonial Africa, including discussions on whether African that were not only living in isolated tribes had become a potential part of a largely urban and partly industrial economy. Keep in mind that no one who was directly affected in the matter and/or topic of the debate was actually involved in the debate. It has been said at this time, many parts in Africa consisted of black people living in a white man’s…

    As research shows, the apartheid system affected traditional values of African Americans and it caused a deep divide in segregation. There were numerous factors that led to the apartheid system: “The Great Depression and World War II brought increasing economic woes to Africa, which caused the government to strengthen its policies of racial segregation” (“History” 1). Furthermore, “Apartheid has deep roots in South African society as Dutch colonizers began establishing laws and regulations that separated white settlers and native Africans” (“Evans” 1). “These laws and regulations continued after the British occupation in 1795, and soon led to the channeling their so-called homelands” (“Evans” 1). Eventually, “The National Party government created apartheid in 1948 for separate development of the different racial groups in Africa to…

    Apartheid is a segregated political system that A.L. Geyer believed in. Various segregation laws passed before the nationalist party took complete power in 1948. The two most significant laws were The blacks/Natives Land Act No 27 of 1913 and The Black/Natives (Urban Areas) Act No 21 of 1923. Act 27 stated that blacks couldn’t own or rent land outside of designated reserves, and Act 21 stated that they had urban and rural areas that they strictly controlled the movement of black males. This leads me to believe that this racism and discrimination was instilled in A.L Geyer. He states in his speech that South Africa is the original home for South Africans, but in the same breath he says in some parts Bantu arrived first. Bantu is what…
