South Africa Under Apartheid (Part 1)

1957 film Apartheid was a system of legal racial segregation enforced by the National Party government in South Africa between 1948 and 1994, under which the rights of the majority black inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and minority rule by whites was maintained. Racial segregation in South Africa began in colonial times, but apartheid as an official policy was introduced following the general election of 1948. New legislation classified inhabitants into racial groups ("black", "white", "coloured", and "Indian"), and residential areas were segregated by means of forced removals. From 1958, Blacks were deprived of their citizenship, legally becoming citizens of one of ten tribally based self-governing homelands called bantustans, four of which became nominally independent states. The government segregated education, medical care, and other public services, and provided black people with services inferior to those of whites. Apartheid sparked significant internal resistance and violence as well as a long trade embargo against South Africa. A series of popular uprisings and protests were met with the banning of opposition and imprisoning of anti-apartheid leaders. As unrest spread and became more violent, state organizations responded with increasing repression and state-sponsored violence. Reforms to apartheid in the 1980s failed to quell the mounting opposition, and in 1990 President Frederik Willem de Klerk began negotiations to end apartheid, culminating in multi-racial democratic elections in 1994, which were won by the African National Congress under Nelson Mandela. The vestiges of apartheid still shape South African politics and society.

Chairman falls off chair while in an interview (South African)

Whilst in an interview the fat dude breaks the chair and falls on his ass. This occured early today. SABC 2 News Interview chairman falls off chair... Full story from the "Mail and Guardian" "A SUDDEN chair collapse, broadcast live on television, has turned South Africa's parliamentary finance portfolio committee CHAIRPERSON Nhlanhla Nene into an instant internet celebrity. On Tuesday morning, Nene was being interviewed live in studio by presenter Hayde Fitzpatrick on SABC2's parliamentary review programme A View from the House. Halfway through answering one of Fitzpatrick's questions, a loud crack was heard and Nene seemed to feel his chair moving under him. Seconds later, he tumbled to the ground behind the desk as the chair collapsed completely. By Wednesday, a short video clip of the incident had made its way on to internet video-sharing websites YouTube and Zoopy, as well as social networking website Facebook. The clip had been viewed almost 1 000 times by late Wednesday afternoon on Zoopy, and close to 5 200 times on YouTube. "The incident was totally unforeseeable and was an accident," the South African Broadcasting Corporation said in a statement. "Mr Nene must be applauded for having been a true professional, as he carried on with the interview after a short ad break." The SABC added: "The presenter and crew also handled the situation with real professionalism, as the presenter apologised and their reaction was one of concern when it happened." The SABC has formally apologised to Nene, and said that "all necessary precautions are being put in place to avoid a similar incident". - Mail & Guardian" LOL
