Question

In 1990 and 1991, apartheid and all the laws that supported it were _____.

Answer 1

In 1990 and 1991, apartheid and all the laws that supported it were dismantled in South Africa, due to both international pressure and internal activism. The dismantling eventually led to the first democratic elections in 1994 that included all racial groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1990 and 1991, apartheid and all the laws that supported it were dismantled. The apartheid system in South Africa was a form of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination that enforced white supremacy and subjugated the non-white majority. The oppressive system included legislation like the Suppression of Communism Act and the enforcement of passbooks to control and exploit nonwhite labor.

International pressure including economic sanctions, alongside internal opposition and activism, notably from the African National Congress led by figures such as Nelson Mandela, culminated in the South African government led by then-President F. W. De Klerk beginning the process of dismantling the apartheid system. The student divestment movement also significantly contributed to this process, exerting economic pressure on corporations to sever ties with the South African government. By 1991, significant steps had been taken to formally end apartheid, and in 1994, South Africa held its first democratic elections in which all races could participate, marking the definitive end of apartheid.

Answer 2

abolished

Step-by-step explanation:

South Africa was a country where for pretty long time there was racial segregation on pretty much every level. This segregation came to be known as apartheid.

Basically, the white South Africans were controlling everything in the country. They were running all the businesses, thus having full control of the economy, had all the institutions at disposal, every opportunity in life available int he country, controlled the wealth, controlled the politics etc.

In meantime, the black South Africans were not allowed to educate themselves, didn't had political or economic influence, the opportunities for jobs were very limited, and they were not allowed to live or visit places were the white South Africans lived or were using.

This all changed in 1990 and 1991, when the apartheid was abolished. This came as a result from the revolt by the black population, international pressure, and threat of economic sanctions toward South Africa.

Instead of improving the situation in the country, it actually just seems that the things were reversed, as nowadays it is the black population that terrorizes the white population without any sanction for it, and the reason being revenge and expelling the white population out of South Africa.
