Apartheid was a system in South Africa which meant that racial segregation was enforced by law. South Africa also extended these laws over to Namibia (then South West Africa), one of the last countries in Africa to gain independence in 1990. Apartheid formally ended in South Africa in 1990, a new constitution was adopted in 1993, and the first all-race national elections were held in 1994.
