The Coalition For Good

Apartheid refers to the implementation and maintenance of legalized racial segregation, in which one racial group is deprived of political, social and other civil rights. These include the right to vote, to a fair trial, to physical safety, and the freedom of religion, movement, speech and assembly.

The term “apartheid”, is an Afrikaans word, derived from the French term “mettre a part”, literally translated to “separating, setting apart.” Apartheid is a policy that was established by the white Afrikaner government in 1948 in South Africa (Coincidentally the same year that the state of Israel came into being).

It was an oppressive system of institutionalised racial and ethnic segregation that discriminated against black South Africans. It’s a holistic assault on the core of humanity, tearing apart families, communities, and spirits. Apartheid is the embodiment of injustice, a stain on the conscience of humanity.

For 76 years we have heard that the Palestine/Israel conflict is complicated – It’s not complicated It’s just settler colonialism.

It's Apartheid!

Amnesty is calling for Israel to end the international wrong, and crime, of Apartheid, by dismantling measures of fragmentation, segregation, discrimination, and deprivation, currently in place against the Palestinian population.

A regime that uses laws, practices and organized violence to cement the supremacy of one group over another is an Apartheid regime. Israel’s regime of Apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations.

Human Rights Watch asserts that the Israeli government’s actions in maintaining Jewish Israeli dominance over Palestinians, combined with systematic oppression and grave abuses in the OPT, constitute both the crimes of Apartheid and persecution under international law.

It’s time for the children
of Madiba to take their
place in the world.

The world supported our quest for freedom, and now it’s our turn to reciprocate.

If anyone understands Apartheid, it is South Africans. Therefore, we have a profound responsibility to spearhead the fight for human justice and equality.

Why
should you
get involved?

While the ‘civilised’ world prioritises ‘self-interest’ over humanity, we as South Africans have a moral responsibility to support and advocate against the atrocities that were committed against us, ensuring they are never inflicted upon any human being again.
