NIGERIA ROLE IN THE ERADICATION OF APARTHEID POLICY IN SOUTH AFRICA

SUMMARY

The apartheid policy that stated as a state ideology 1948 in South Africa collapsed in 1990. The consequence of it was conduct of the first multi-racial election in 1994 that saw the victory of Nelson Mandela of African National Congress (ANC) as the president of South Africa. It was clear that the collapse of the White Supremacist Regime was as a result of concerted efforts of the international communities. The federal government of Nigeria played a pivotal role in this regards. In the conclusion of the project, the following has to be noted;

The white supremacist regime in the entire period of its adoption of racism in South Africa displayed a vagrant act of wickedness and complete violation of human rights abuses against the black majority. The various apartheid legislation as discussed in chapter two of this project is a clear manifestation of this claim. The heinous and despicable crimes of torturing of the blacks, the killing and sometimes Kangaroo trial and imprisonment of perceived blacks that are considered threat to the continuous existence of racism is an indication of this fact. Imagine the Sharpville Massacre, the Soweto Massacre, the Bulhoek Massacre ate all instances of this fact. What the Boers (Afrikaners) did in South Africa was a replacement of the global abolition of slave trade with racism.
