This is a map of the Cities and Townships that were created to separate whites from coloreds, and blacks during apartheid South Africa in 1948. In between these townships and set boundaries were large golf courses, freeways, and rail road tracks to help further the separation, and to discourage any contact between races.
Apartheid was a way for the Afrikaners and the British to create a "white" South Africa. In order to do that they separated each group of people into segregated sections of colored black and white. Simmilar to the segregation in America, bathrooms, buses, and entrances were also separated by white and non-white.
Police officers were trained to capture and attack, and were open to money bribes. however most of the times during a police raid, blacks didnt have enough for a bribe. everything that the police did was backed by the government because they were under martial law. Peaceful political leaders were thrown in jail like Nelson Mendella, who remained in prison for 30+ years. when he was finally released he became the first Black president.
After Apartheid was over, many whites were prepared for a race war, however instead blacks came up with a plan where you confess your sins to a family that you harmed, and the family can decide whether or not you go to court and be ruled by them, or to be forgiven.
