In the apartheid system practised in South Africa, the blacks were restricted entry into the white areas.They were forbidden from using public transport and public placement which were exclusively meant for the whites.They were banned entry into the Churches meant for the whites.The also could not form any political association.

The blacks raised opposition against this racial practise by the whites in 1980's. the protest started under the banner of African National Congress.Thousands of blacks were killed and tortured in the name of racism which was denounced in the international level. But the protest continued in a wide scale and for a longer period of time. Finally, the practise of apartheid ended in 1994 with the abolition of the discriminating laws by the whites.
