Step 4, Towards reconciliation

Ingrid De Kok's poem, Terrestrial things

• wept
• sobbing
• misted glasses

These words suggest or evoke sorrows, sadness, grief and lamentation.

In the title of her work, Terrestrial Things, she emphasizes the earthly dimension of pain and shows how it remains grounded in everyday-life, and more specifically in South-Africa. It is also about acknowledging the past, even if it is negative, low and terrestrial. She wants to keep in touch with reality and she wants people to keep in touch with reality.

What do you know about the apartheid ? Who ? What ? When ? Where ? Why ?

Step 1, the origins of apartheid

What is apartheid ? Apartheid (Afrikaans: “apartness”) is the name of the policy that governed relations between the white minority and the nonwhite majority of South Africa during the 20th century. Apartheid dictated where South Africans, on the basis of their race, could live and work, the type of education they could receive, and whether they could vote. Events in the early 1990s marked the end of legislated apartheid, but the social and economic effects remained deeply entrenched.

Who was impacted ? The Population Registration Act of 1950 classified South Africans as Bantu (black Africans), Coloured (those of mixed race), or white; an Asian (Indian and Pakistani) category was later added.

Step 1, the origins of apartheid

When did apartheid start?Racial segregation had long existed in white minority-governed South Africa, but the practice was extended under the government led by the National Party (1948–94), and the party named its racial segregation policies apartheid (Afrikaans: “apartness”).

Step 1, the origins of apartheid

You are a historian. Write two paragraphs to expose the two divergent perpectives during apartheid. 1 paragraph= 1 idea, 1 argument, 1 example

Step 1, the origins of apartheid

Correction intro:Under apartheid, racist policies and legislation were enforced in South Africa by a white minority government, many of whose members were descendants of Dutch settlers from the Netherlands. (idea) This regime institutionalized racial discrimination, systematically stripping non-white populations of their fundamental rights. (argument) Indeed,They were denied freedom of movement, prohibited from sitting where they wished on public transport, and forcibly confined to segregated territories within their own country, referred to as “Bantustans.”(example)For example, the racist inscription “Europeans Only” clearly divides the train into separate sections based solely on skin colour. This explicit wording not only enforces segregation but also powerfully exposes how racial hierarchy was embedded into the fabric of everyday life.

Correction transition: although the minority in power had implemented these laws, it didn't prevent South Africans from rising up and protesting. (idea)Nevertheless, South Africans demonstrated remarkable courage in the face of these oppressive and racist policies. (argument)Indeed, many chose to resist through peaceful protest, deliberately refusing to comply with unjust laws despite the personal risks it involved. (example)For instance, the woman in the image appears to challenge these discriminatory regulations by occupying a space from which she was explicitly barred. The resolute intensity of her gaze toward the camera further reinforces her quiet defiance.

To conclude,despite the unfairness of such laws, the open window could suggest a powerful, implicit symbol of liberation. It evokes the idea of an emerging horizon—suggesting that, through acts of resistance such as hers, the path toward freedom is not only dreamed of, but gradually being opened.

Step 1, the origins of apartheid

Step 1, the origins of apartheid

Firstly, even before apartheid, South Africa was highly segregated. Native South Africans were subjected to colonial rules when Europeans colonized the country. Secondly, during apartheid, the all-white government separated people into categories, Bantu, Colored, or White. Then, the Group Areas Act of 1950 set different working and living areas solely based on people's skin color. One of the biggest protest occured in Sharpeville in 1960 over "pass laws" which required nonwhites to carry documents to prove they were allowed in certain areas.

Thirdly, both US and UK issued sanctions against South Africa, helping lead to the repeal of pass laws. Following negociations, a constitution was passed and South Africans were allowed to vote for the first time. They elected Nelson Mandela. Today, although the country has been desegregated, it remains one of the most unequal country in the world.

Step 4, Nelson Mandela

Firstly, Nelson Mandela is depicted as a heroic figure. Indeed, the trailer for Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom retraces his life and his relentless fight for freedom, from his early acts of protest to his arrest and eventual life imprisonment. He is portrayed as a figure of rebellion. There's also an emphasis on his bravery during his trial when he declares, “I have cherished the ideal of a free society... it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” This powerful statement reinforces his commitment and elevates him beyond an ordinary political figure. Eventually, his release is presented as both a personal victory and a symbolic triumph for justice and peace.

The Commission acknowledged that apartheid was a clear violation of human rights.
