1. Apartheid and Prejudice in South
Africa
by Ken

2. What is Prejudice?
• Prejudice is judging someone by something
that is not true.
• Prejudice can occur from
frustration/aggression
• Example: All Mexican eat burritos, All Asians
are nerd, etc.
• Prejudice Stages: Antilocution-Avoidance-
Discrimination-Violence-Genocide

3. South Africa 16th Century
During the 16th century, the Dutch travelled to
South Africa. They became the first settler and
called themselves the Boers. A few years later,
British followed and they had a few wars. During
that time, many of the natives became slave.

4. South Africa 20th Century
During the 20th century,
South Africa was ruled by
Boers. Many of the
natives/black people were
servants or slave to the
whites. They did not have
that much freedom and they
always had to work . The
reason for this was because
of the law created by the
government called, “The
Apartheid Law.”

5. Apartheid
Apartheid law was created by
the government to ensure
black will have no power
while the whites will have
power. They were many types
of Apartheid law. Some were
Group Area Acts where blacks
are banned in this and that
area. Other were this law
where Black needed to carry
a passbook everywhere they
went. It was unfair to the
blacks. This was a case of
prejudice where whites were
treating blacks badly

6. Why? For What did they do this?
The governments and
the white people were
being prejudice and
believed that all the
blacks are not as equal as
white. Therefore, they do
not get the right/same
treatment as the whites.

7. Black’s Reaction
Some of the blacks had no
choice but just to sit down.
But some of the blacks also
stand up against prejudice
and the apartheid law. Steve
Biko, Desmond Tutu, and
Nelson Mandela are some of
the famous anti-apartheid
activists. With these activists,
many people stood up and
start protesting.

8. Destruction
But from peaceful protests
came destruction. In 1960, a
group of 19,000 locals went to
the police offering themselves
up for arrest for not carrying
their pass books. But then,
130 police reinforcement
came in armed and killed 70
people with more than 100
injured.

9. Change of Plan
After many Africans get
killed, Nelson Mandela
and his ANC (African
National Congress)
decided instead of
peaceful protests, they’ll
start having violence. The
ANC then are marked
terrorists.

10. Captured
A couple of years later,
Nelson Mandela got
arrested and was sent to
jail. In a meanwhile, Steve
Biko got arrested and was
killed by the police.
According to the police,
they said he died from
starvation but that was
not true.

11. Beginning of Freedom
In 1974, Portugal
withdraws from to
encourage resistance to
Apartheid. Mozambique
and Angola becomes
Independent.

12. Another Destruction
In 1976, a big number of
students in Soweto starts
protesting for freedom. But
then same as Sharpville, they
got destroyed again. More
than 100 students were
killed.

13. Gaining Independence
2 years after the Soweto
incident, the UN
demanded Nambia’s
independence. A couple
of years later, Zimbabwe
also gained
independence.

14. Frederik Van Zyl Shalbert Resigns
In 1986, the president of
South Africa reesigned
because he felt like he
couldn’t control it
anymore. The resignation
is followed by the vice
president.

15. Freedom at Last
On 1994, Nelson Mandela becomes
the president. He became the first
African to be the president after
apartheid. The apartheid ended and
the prejudice ended. Everyone is
free at last.

16. End of Prejudice/Apartheid
It was a long way to end prejudice. The blacks
had to face a lot of problems and it was a hard
time for them. But then at the end, the justice is
served.
