Title: Navigating the Complexity of Writing a South African Apartheid Research Paper

Embarking on the journey of writing a thesis on the South African Apartheid era is a formidable task.
It's a topic layered with historical, political, social, and ethical complexities that demand meticulous
research and thoughtful analysis. Aspiring researchers often find themselves grappling with the
enormity of the subject matter and the challenge of presenting it coherently within the confines of a
thesis.

One of the primary difficulties in writing such a research paper lies in the vast amount of information
available. The South African Apartheid regime spanned decades and left an indelible mark on the
country's history, society, and culture. Navigating through this plethora of historical data, archival
documents, scholarly articles, and personal accounts requires time, patience, and expertise.

Moreover, delving into the intricacies of apartheid necessitates a nuanced understanding of its
causes, manifestations, and consequences. From the roots of racial segregation to the resistance
movements that emerged, from the implementation of discriminatory laws to the eventual
dismantling of the apartheid system, every aspect demands thorough examination and critical
analysis.

Crafting a coherent thesis that not only presents factual information but also offers insights and
interpretations is a daunting task. It requires not only a mastery of research methodologies but also
the ability to synthesize diverse perspectives and engage in rigorous academic discourse.

On December 8, 1966, the tendency was modified to 17.5 degrees to give new information on lunar
gravity. Source B claims that the protestors fired first and that the police were forced to defend
themselves. It was another form of identification but more extreme, and did not have to be issued to
white people. It was launched on November 6, 1966, for the check of safe landing locales for the
Surveyor and Apollo missions. One more reason it affected white people in a bad way was because
of certain laws that said white and black couple were not allowed to marry or be together. In the
1989 elections, they had their worst result since 1948. This worked fine for a while but soon they
needed even more manpower as their plantations started to grow. The ANC later organized a
campaign called The Freedom Charter. Therefore my research will cover a little on the propaganda
involved in the implementation. So this meant that any black people who did live in the urban parts
of South Africa had no rights at all and were treated as slaves and not citizens. Source q is very
recent and reliable because it is from 1999 and is from a The Observer, which is a broadsheet
newspaper. There was a huge public reaction against the government in South Africa and many
countries around the world condemned it too. Source H shows that housing facilities have improved
and is released by the ANC. His goal was to calm down both the rest of the world and South
Africa?s black people. People started boycotting the buses and the Defiance Campaign was
launched. One more reason it affected white people in a bad way was because of certain laws that
said white and black couple were not allowed to marry or be together. The existence of an active
unholy alliance of which Vorster is a key member makes it unimportant which member of the unholy
alliance is responsible for the attacks. Once and after released, he continued his efforts for freedom,
winning the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize leading on to become President of South Africa in 1994. This
eventually lead me to my research question with the aim of wanting to find out more about the
psychological impact this kind of mind-set had on the country’s oppressed population. He did all the
protests for the rights of both Africans and native Indians there. Although South Africa believed they
could keep fighting the rest of the world, they eventually found out otherwise. In 1976 the minister
of Education announced that a half of all the subjects taught by the schools were to be taught in
Afrikaans. Afterwards, the police took every step to prevent a full list of students killed to be
compiled. This was great as Mandela was now able to actually take actions towards the complete
abolition of apartheid. The government had little budget set aside for the Black schools: less than
10% of the budget for white schools. But firstly this novel was based on a true story and it is thus
difficult to distort the facts. So a man called Robert Sobukwe set up the PAC for only black people.
Journalists described stones being thrown by both the students and the police, then the police firing
shots at the students. Mandela knew what he wanted for his outcome; true democracy. He realised
that apartheid was crippling the South African economy.
One reason apartheid managed to survive was because it was profitable for the whites. The Defiance
Campaign was a non-violent protest that was created by the ANC’s (African National Congress)
leader, Nelson Mandela. The reason being because there were no reasons for Apartheid not being
harmful towards black people and it is obvious from the Sources and my own knowledge that black
people were affected by Apartheid the worst. On an international scale, many foreign countries,
appalled by the Apartheid laws, implemented trade sanctions so that foreign countries would no
longer buy South African goods. Source q is very recent and reliable because it is from 1999 and is
from a The Observer, which is a broadsheet newspaper. Because of COSATU?s and the rest of the
worlds pressure Botha eventually were forced to sit down in a meeting with the ANC to discuss the
future. So in 1910 the past enemies formed the South African Union. I think this because of the
sentence “80 people sprawled on the ground in a growing pool of blood” so this cannot be reliable if
it was meant to be bias, although it does give us a clearer idea of what happened. Economic effects
included the Separate Amenities Act in 1953, which provided separate amenities for white and non-
white races and determined that separate amenities need not be of the same quality. Their main
political interest was the preservation of their privileges since their fear was to have the same status
and rights as a person of colour, consequently the government was urged massively to act in a way
that was advantageous for the Poor Whites. There was a huge public reaction against the
government in South Africa and many countries around the world condemned it too. Sex between
Black and White went on unseen.’ This proved that the Blacks and Whites were ignorant towards
the consequences. At this time, black schools became overcrowded with some fifty students in each
class. Source F is a speech made in the South African Parliament by Dr Verwoerd. I also realised that
some of the present work, especially the websites, have rather incomplete information on Apartheid,
thus allowing my work to further expand on. But for non-racist whites trying to bring up their
children and being in mixed relationship it was hard as the racist society they lived in made it
difficult to lead a normal life. It is a poem praising Dr Verwoerd and making him sound as if he was
being fair to the people sent to live in the Bantustans. Media such as Sunday Nation and Freedom
Radio were some of the first to report on the dishonesty and cruelty of the apartheid regime. The
price to be paid in South Africa and far beyond its borders will be enormously high, but final victory
will go to the defenders of peace and human dignity. Millions of people were compulsory transfered
over the country, if they refused, they were sent to prison. The views of these two presidents were
also different; Botha was a religious man who believed in equal opportunities whereas Botha, like
many whites believed the whites were better than the blacks. However, the propaganda leaflet
handed out by The National Party was aimed at poor, white Afrikaners as The National Party wanted
to gain their votes to win the election. Another reason that Apartheid was harmful to white South
Africans was that the white South Africans who did not support Apartheid found it very hard to
raise their children to be anti-racist as there was so much propaganda and open racism around them.
There were people and organization who stood up for Black rights. There were many consequences
such as the losing of their freedom and having a poorer quality of life. It is a poem praising Dr
Verwoerd and making him sound as if he was being fair to the people sent to live in the Bantustans.
In other words, there was an unequal and unfair representation of black and white citizens, an
example would that the deaths of white people were substantially reported while the deaths of black
people were treated trivially. There was two parts of this story: one claimed tear gas and weapons
were used and another claimed that it was a peaceful protest. But the most important thing that white
people had, in which black, mixed race and asian people wanted very much, was the vote. They also
sabotaged their farms and decapitate their livestock.
However, whilst in prison for leaving the country illegally, plans were found which outlined a
strategy for guerrilla warfare in South Africa. The food was stolen from the crops that they grew,
their houses were ransacked every other week or so. Smuts was elected Prime Minister and decided
to enter war on the British side. In order to reduce their costs, mining companies decided to replace
white workers with those of colour. The Africans may have believed that keeping apartheid could
continue bringing in money as they were using blacks as cheap labour, which is beneficial especially
to businesses. Coloured people were sub-classified into other ethnic groups. The Englishmen soon
realized that South Africa had more to offer than nice weather and a great location, it was also a
perfect place for cotton and sugarplantations. The riots spread trouble all around the country and the
police met violence with violence. The internet and social media have become an apparent source for
information that journalists have used to their advantage. The source also shows that although
newspapers concentrate on whites being attacked by blacks, blacks are still often victims of crimes
too. This was very ineffective as there were too many people to classify. The source is from The
Observer, which is a reliable broadsheet newspaper, and the source is very recent. People started
boycotting the buses and the Defiance Campaign was launched. It is a poem praising Dr Verwoerd
and making him sound as if he was being fair to the people sent to live in the Bantustans. In order to
stimulate the national economy, the South African Administration decided on December 28, 1932 to
take off the gold standard, which heavily influenced the further economic development and was the
reason for a long-term boom in South Africa. In 1986, Chief Buthelezi sent a letter to The Guardian
newspaper, saying, “The ANC urges the assassination of black town councillors, policemen, members
of the defence force and any other individual who disputes them. Leaders of the ANC planned a
campaign of defiance of apartheid and Mandela was put in charge. The white?s farms started to
grow, soon they were so big that the black people had almost no land for their cattle. Soon, there
were also different toilets, park benches, restaurants and so on for Blacks and Whites. The attempts
by the South African racist regime to blackmail and bully neighbouring African governments into
allying themselves with it is a mean and selfish move to involve these governments in a bloody
defence of its inhuman policies in the same manner that it has driven 200,000 whites in Zimbabwe
into an unequal war with 4,000,000 Africans. This would be bad for black children because its taking
away opportunities rather than giving them, closing doors and not opening them and treating them
like they were not important. White South African nationalism’s primary aim was to exclude and
subordinate people of colour. I personally believe that apartheid implied abolition in November 1993
when an agreement on new constitution for South Africa was decided, however it was proven that
apartheid had ended when the first-ever fully democratic elections were held in South Africa in
1994. We have moved from an era of pessimism, division, limited opportunities, turmoil and conflict.
Journalists such as Tshidi Madia, Farial Haffajee and Qaanitah Hunter have had to deal with sexism
and verbal harassment not only from social media but from politicians and their respective parties. So
couples who were in love with each other had to go through the pain of being forced to separate.
Three years later, the Riotous Assemblies Act banning non-white actions and permitting the
government to dissolve assemblies forcibly, as opposed to the Riotous Assemblies and Criminal Law
Amendment Act (1914), which targeted on white demonstrations, was passed. All things being
equal, the panel discovered partners in the West, for example, the British-based Anti-Apartheid
Movement, through which it could work and lay the ground pulls for the inevitable
acknowledgement by the Western forces of the need to force financial approvals on South Africa to
pressure for political changes. They formed two independent states; Transvaal and the
Oranjefreestate, where slavery still was legal. In 1994 the first free election were held, dispite a
chaotic time just before the election with 500 people killed in fights between the black people and
some opponents, Mandela was elected as president.
Source I shows that with 21% of Africans having 6 or more rooms and 39% having 1-3rooms
compared to 62%of whites having 6 or more rooms and 3% having 1-3 rooms, whites have bigger
houses than Africans. Leaders of the ANC including Nelson Mandela were especially unsafe.
However its view would seem to be that this speech and belief was indoctrinating black children and
other people and leading them to believe that this was true and that they were uncivilised, inferior
people. Source E shows the source of health care for each household. Nevertheless, it was
endeavoured to continuously link the existing research to the South African context and situation.
They had no privacy and it was also a form of controlling where black people could go. But instead
of hiring locals to help them and pay them salary they imported slaves from Malaysia and Thailand.
If the ANC did take over then there would be a chance that South Africa would have a communist
government which the whites did not want. Even if South Africa did trade with some countries or
large businesses, their products would be boycotted by the public and resulting in hardly any trade in
South Africa at all and huge amounts of money lost. Students with a strong sense of the past will be
able to explain that the social conditions of apartheid grew out of racial oppression instituted during
European colonial rule of South Africa. Already in the armed clashes that have taken place, the white
fascists have taken a severe beating from the ZAPU-ANC guerrillas. In addition, the psychology of
oppression focuses on the oppressor-oppressed relationship, whereby its findings and theories are not
confined to colonialism but can be transferred to any form of oppression, whether individual or
institutional. The MK tried to avoid as much civilian death as they could whereas the Poqo, who
where the military wing of the PAC (Pan African Congress) targeted civilian targets in order to create
maximum terror in South Africa. The difference between the South African nationalism of Hertzog
and Afrikaner nationalism was slight, if there was one at all. So the Dutch had to start their own
farms, they became farmers or boer as they were called in dutch. The government had little budget
set aside for the Black schools: less than 10% of the budget for white schools. In order to look at
how education has changed since the end of apartheid, these factors must be taken into account as
well as the graph so with this in mind, I believe that although the source does not necessarily show
improvements in education, I believe that it shows signs of improvement which are yet to come.
There was two parts of this story: one claimed tear gas and weapons were used and another claimed
that it was a peaceful protest. Secondly, he wrote openly about Apartheid in most of his works,
resulting in numerous police investigations over fifteen years. This showed the apartheid was intense
and the government was doing their best to segregate the races. The Promotion of Bantu Self-
government Act transformed all black reserves into self-governing homelands. As well as this, there
was a sports boycott which stopped South Africa taking part in international sport such as athletics
and cricket and in 1976 South Africa was banned from taking part in the Summer Olympics. This
made the request for labour even higher, the Dutch needed the manpower for their farms, the british
needed it for their mines. Source F is a speech made in the South African Parliament by Dr Verwoerd.
In 1867 the British found the first diamond deposits, and a few years later they found gold. On a
national scale, between the 1950s to the 1980s, the ANC became more and more active. This was the
first step to control the black people, but definitely not the last. South Africa and the rest of the
world had very different opinions on how blacks should be treated. The vestiges of apartheid still
shape South African politics and society. They had acts such as the prohibition of mixed marriages
act which prohibited mixed marriages and the immorality amendment act which banned sex between
Blacks and Whites.
