    The apartheid was a system of racial segregation in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. During this time, the South African government passed laws that separated the population by race and severely restricted the rights of non-white racial groups. Nelson Mandela worked to end apartheid and create a new democratic constitution as State President from 1994. The end of apartheid brought an end to racial discrimination and increased rights for non-white South Africans.
