BACKGROUND MAIN MENU Dutch traders landed at the southern tip
of modern day South Africa in 1652 and established a stopover point
on the spice route between the Netherlands and the Far East,
founding the city of Cape Town. After the British seized the Cape
of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers)
trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of
diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and
intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers
resisted British encroachments but were defeated in the Second
Anglo Boer War (1899-1902); however, the British and the
Afrikaners, as the Boers became known, ruled together beginning in
1910 under the Union of South Africa, which became a republic in
1961 after a whites-only referendum. In 1948, the National Party
was voted into power and instituted a policy of apartheid - the
separate development of the races - which favored the white
minority at the expense of the black majority. The African National
Congress (ANC) led the opposition to apartheid and many top ANC
leaders, such as Nelson MANDELA, spent decades in South Africa's
prisons. Internal protests and insurgency, as well as boycotts by
some Western nations and institutions, led to the regime's eventual
willingness to negotiate a peaceful transition to majority rule.
The first multi-racial elections in 1994 brought an end to
apartheid and ushered in majority rule under an ANC-led government.
South Africa since then has struggled to address apartheid-era
imbalances in decent housing, education, and health care. ANC
infighting, which has grown in recent years, came to a head in
September 2008 when President Thabo MBEKI resigned, and Kgalema
MOTLANTHE, the party's General-Secretary, succeeded him as interim
president. Jacob ZUMA became president after the ANC won general
elections in April 2009. National presidential and parliamentary
elections are scheduled for May 2014.
