The trading companies from Europe occupied it with arms and intimidation throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and became the local rulers.
The apartheid system segregated the people and branded them based on their skin colour.
All non-whites were classified as inferiors by the White Rulers.
The non-white have no voting rights and have been prohibited from staying in white areas.

The ANC (African National Congress) was the umbrella organisation that fought hard against segregation policies.
Nelson Mandela was among the leaders of the eight whom the white South African government tried for treason.
On 27 April 1994, the very first free and democratic elections in the nation permitted all South Africans to cast their vote.
It was a quiet moment, it had been a long journey to independence for the vast majority of the population, in which black South Africans had fought against massive odds for several years.
