Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Racial segregation, sanctioned by law, was widely practiced in South Africa before 1948. But when the National Party, led by Daniel F. Malan, gained office that year, it extended the policy and gave it the name apartheid.

Detailed explanation-2: -By a quirk of the first-past-the-post system, the HNP won more seats, even though the UP received over eleven per cent more votes. The nationalist coalition subsequently formed a new government and ushered in the era of formal, legally binding apartheid.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
