No. Apartheid is a product of racist policies in South Africa. It began in 1948 and ended in 1994. In 1948, the Reunited National Party won the election. It led to a platform of total country’s segregation and deterioration of the black people in South Africa. Apartheid supported some white interest groups and big business where its power and control shows significantly. The demise of Apartheid led to the birth of Democracy which taken the whole world by surprise. In February 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison as the Cold War concluded.

Apartheid was formed in order to race the concern between racial segregation and also the discrimination in South Africa. The Apartheid was not a product of democracy since this system was to oppress nonwhite population in the country. So the answer in no, apartheid is not a product of democratic system.
