The policy of apartheid concentrates white supremacy with 21 percent of the population controlling 83 percent of political power. The Afrikaner Nationalists lead, while the United Party opts to maintain segregation with milder methods.

Apartheid Policy in South Africa Faces Mixed Results
The Nationalists expand racial separation through laws like the Group Areas Act of 1950 and the Native Labor Act of 1954. While claimed to protect groups, the system denies non whites civil and political rights and hampers economic growth due to labor and area restrictions. Strong church opposition persists. UN resolutions fail to curb the policy. Foreign investment and white immigration concerns loom as South Africa braces for change.
