Apartheid was the term used in South Africa to categorize and separate the races in all public spaces.

Explanation:

Apartheid means racial discrimination. This system existed in South Africa from 1948-1991 to separate the people on the basis of races. Apartheid was said to be in practice during White minority rule. According to Africans the word apartheid means separateness.

Apartheid had serious impact on black Africans. They were forced to move from their homes to settle in isolated residential area. The interracial relationships were affected greatly.

Race Classification Act: According to this act, the people who are suspected of not being European were categorized based on the race.
