Good afternoon, Debaters
I’m here to talk to you about the apartheid system in South Africa, and the past and present attitudes to the regime in the country of South Africa.

Why? Because the Apartheid System is the biggest racial segregation, we’ve seen in recent times, and the segregation might not be over yet.

The system of Apartheid is an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, and something like that will never happen again if the whole stands together.

Back then people lived under some absurd conditions, that from the present view are seen as a discrimination of human rights. All things that happened under Apartheid should never happen again.

Under Apartheid, we saw an institutionalized form of racial segregation. The whole country was controlled by a minority group of white people.

Black people were forced to live under some brutal conditions. Life under Apartheid was a completely different life, than what we see for the black people today under the current Regime.

Certain places were only for only whites. Black people were segregated in almost every part of the public places. They weren’t allowed to go to toilets on the road and couldn’t get any food on the way.

The apartheid system meant that blacks had to have a strong mental psychic. Blacks or Africans as they were called back then will do almost everything to have a better life.

Many black people left their families or even kids, as they “played white” and got their color reclassified.

Many of you listeners might think that nowadays that South Africa is a peaceful place for every type of race or social group to live as a family or might even an individual.

If you think that, you’re completely wrong. Today’s South Africa has changed a lot since the abolition of Apartheid in a positive way, although the country is still filled with racial tensions.

The black people are wealthier than ever before. Many blacks now live in green neighborhoods with paved roads and sidewalks, in lush homes with gardens, swimming pools, and tennis courts. 20 years after Nelson Mandela’s term of office, we still have a form for racism.
