South African Legacy
South African Cultural Legacy
A scarred past
• Between 1948 and 1994 the South African Government under the National Party (NP) passed racial segregation laws known as Apartheid.
Under Apartheid
• The rights of the majority black inhabitants were curtailed.
While…
• the minority white inhabitants were given extraordinary benefits.
A devastating impact
• The National Party set about dividing South Africa into four distinct groups being white, black, coloured and Indian.
• South Africa was divided into a number of separate states, each of which was supposed to develop into a separate nation-state for a different ethnic group.
• A policy of 'resettlement', to force people to move to their designated "group areas“ was implemented by government. Millions of people were forced to relocate.
A great legacy of South Africa is how we came together as a nation despite the atrocities of the past. This coming together has greatly influenced
our countries culture.
