Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa that existed from 1948 until the early 1990s. It divided the population into four racial categories – white, black, Indian, and colored – and restricted the rights and freedoms of non-white people in almost all aspects of life. The other options (slavery, endogamy, bonded labor) refer to different forms of social stratification but do not accurately describe the particular system of apartheid in South Africa.
