Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Apartheid, or “apartness” in the language of Afrikaans, was a system of legislation that upheld segregation against non-white citizens of South Africa. After the National Party gained power in South Africa in 1948, its all-white government immediately began enforcing existing policies of racial segregation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Discrimination based on the colour of skin and race is known as apartheid. It was practised in South Africa between 1948-1994 by the white minority government over the native population.

Detailed explanation-3: -Our results, from two panels of ‘peer’ countries, which were roughly comparable to South Africa, show that apartheid policies that led to insufficient investment in physical and human capital and high shares of government consumption contributed to South Africa’s poor growth performance during apartheid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Apartheid was a system of racial discrimination/segregation that was unique to South Africa and was imposed by the white Europeans settled in South Africa. This system divided the people and labelled them as whites and non-whites on the basis of their skin colour.
