===== Date and country of first publication<ref>Date and country of first publication as informed by the Scopus database (December 2023).</ref>===== 2006<br> South Africa ===== Definition ===== Apartheid segregation refers to the system of racial segregation that was enforced in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Under apartheid, the South African government implemented a policy of racial separation and discrimination, with strict laws that classified individuals into different racial groups and dictated where they could live, work, and socialize. In this system, the white minority government sought to maintain political and economic power by enforcing racial segregation and privileging white citizens over non-white citizens. The apartheid laws divided South Africans into four main racial groups: White, Black, Colored, and Indian/Asian. These groups were intended to be kept separate and were assigned different rights and privileges under the apartheid laws. Key aspects of apartheid segregation included the forced removals of non-white communities from their homes, the establishment of separate residential areas (townships) for different racial groups, the restriction of non-white citizens' freedom of movement through pass laws, and the complete disenfranchisement of non-white citizens from political representation. Apartheid segregation also extended to education, healthcare, and employment, with non-white individuals receiving inferior services and limited opportunities compared to their white counterparts. Interracial relationships and marriages were also banned under apartheid laws. Apartheid segregation sparked significant domestic and international opposition, leading to protests, boycotts, and international sanctions against the South African government. The apartheid system ultimately ended in 1994 with the election of Nelson Mandela and the establishment of a democratic government, marking a significant moment in the country's history towards racial equality and reconciliation. ===== Synonyms ===== The following terms are synonymous with apartheid segregation: apartheid era segregation; apartheid racial segregation; apartheid's racial segregation.
