South Africa 2

What was apartheid like in South Africa?
Many things were changed in South Africa like the fact of that marriage between non-whites and whites were not permitted to be married or have children. The Bantu Authorities Act established in 1951 was a basis for ethnic government in African reserves, known as ``homelands.''These homelands were independent states to which each African was assigned by the government according to the record of origin. That is how Apartheid is was in south Africa.
When did apartheid end?
In February 1990
How did Apartheid end?
When they released Nelson Mandela from prison in February of 1990 and let the Africans vote for the first time and elected Mandela as president, this caused Apartheid to fall.
What does Amandla mean? and how does it apply to apartheid?
Amandla means power. What this has to do with apartheid is that when the Africans were screaming this during the struggle of apartheid is how that they had power and were not going to treated that way.
