Hatred is deep and emotional. It’s an extreme dislike that can be directed against individuals. It’s also often associated with feelings of anger and a disposition towards hostility. Hate was the result of apartheid in South Africa against coloured people. Before the apartheid law was enforced there were many conflicts between the indigenous and the white migrants from Dutch and Britain about the blacks having equal rights in their own country. From there, there was an ongoing hate towards the blacks and the whites wanting more power and being considered higher rank. Apartheid was then a system of racial segregation that was used to classify people in South Africa. The races were classified by law into White, Black, Indian, and coloured groups, and then were separated, each with their own homelands and institutions. People of South Africa were frustrated, but those who were opposed of those laws were tortured and mistreated poorly. Nelson Mandela was the voice for the people of Africa and was a revolutionary leader, wanting a change for his people. South Africa had been inhabited and controlled by Europeans who invaded the country. Europeans settled on the coast of South Africa on their eastern journey to Asia. The first to settle were the Portuguese, however they did not permanently resolve in South Africa; they used the coast of South Africa to further navigate their trip to Asia. The first to settle were the Dutch (Holland), who eventually transformed their settlement into a colony. The Dutch ended up developing a language from the influence of various groups and called it Afrikaans. That is where the Dutch started to refer themselves as Afrikaners or the Boers. As the Dutch began to colonize over the most of the coast of South Africa, the British began to enter. The British realized the advantages of having a colony and soon gained power of it over the Dutch in 1806. In 1814, the coast was then known as a British colony. The Dutch was unhappy with the British power and decisions made, began to revolt. Soon enough a war broke out between the two groups known as the Boer War. The Boer started in 1899 and ended in 1902, resulting in the British defeating the Dutch and gaining control over several other colonies. Not until years later that these two groups negotiated control over South Africa. With the result of control over several new colonies, the British wanted to unify these communities. The British realized that these united colonies of South Africa would not run successfully without the cooperation of the Afrikaners (known as the Dutch group). The British proposed some compromises and eventually worked out conflicts without the cooperation of the Afrikaners. This cooperation laid out the foundation for a future of white supremacy in South Africa. The British believed that Blacks were just like everyone else and that they deserved rights. The Boer war was based on the Dutch not wanting to gives blacks rights. They felt themselves as superior to the Blacks. Even though the laws of apartheid were not put into the South African government until 1948, there was several actions and steps that became the foundation for setting up apartheid. Numerous acts were passed that took away the rights and freedom of non-whites. Even though South Africa was their country, it didn’t matter to the Dutch. They showed extreme dislike to the blacks and coloured people.1 2 The tension between black and whites built over years. In 1911, the Mines and Works act was passed which only allowed for blacks to receive cheap labor. The high paying jobs were only appointed to whites because of the skill and eligibility required. Then in 1913, the Natives Land act was passed which forced 10 percent of the black population to become reserves. This act also prohibited blacks from owning land outside these confined reserves. The Native Affairs Act of 1920 was another building block for apartheid. When World War 1 broke out in August of 1914, South African forces were being conquered by the German colony in South West Africa. The British soldiers consisted of blacks and whites and after their victory over the German colony, they put South West Africa under their government. South Africa had become constitutionally independent. The union of South Africa realized that with this independence, they could make any laws they desired. That’s where the Apartheid laws were being put it in South Africa.1 Apartheid was a National-wide separation of blacks and whites in South Africa. It was a system used for 43 years to divide races and cultures and give them different rights and freedoms. They were categorized into four different grou
