Answer 2

The independence of South Africa from Britain in 1910 did not lead to freedom and equality in South Africa because the white minority government, led by the National Party, implemented a system of racial segregation known as apartheid. This system of racial segregation denied the majority of South Africans, who were non-white, basic human rights and freedoms, including the right to vote, access to education, and the right to own land. This system of racial segregation was enforced through laws and policies that were in place until the early 1990s.
