Apartheid was a discriminate law created by the white settlement in South Africa in the 1940's. The word Apartheid comes from the Afrikaans, meaning "apartness". In 1910, the British gave independence to South Africa, but only to the white people. This law that was created was given restrictions and limitations. This killed the idea of black Africans dream of owning land. 80% of the land in South Africa are owned by the whites, while only 10% was the population of white people living there.
