About South Africa and Apartheid
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources follow South Africa's story from early settlement to the end of apartheid. Early maps such as Dutch at the Cape and The Peopling of South Africa set the scene. Others cover life in South Africa c1948 and the National Party's win, with the Timeline of Apartheid showing how the laws began after the May 1948 election.
Laws and resistance
Several mind maps take one law or event at a time. The Bantu Education Act - 1953 map explains Act No 47 of 1953 and the Black Education Department. The Pass Laws map looks at influx control and the 1952 act. The South Africa Apartheid Laws map covers the Prevention of Illegal Squatting Act of 1951. For resistance, look at Civil Resistance, Soweto Uprising and the flashcards on the Defiance Campaign, Sharpeville and the Freedom Charter.
The end of apartheid
A numbered run of mind maps follows the collapse of apartheid. It moves through reasons for the collapse, the start of negotiations, CODESA, the white referendum and the first democratic election. Maps on internal pressures, external pressures and Total Strategy add the wider picture.
A sensible order
- Start with the Apartheid and Timeline of Apartheid maps for the big picture.
- Move to the law-by-law maps, then the resistance material.
- Work through the end-of-apartheid maps in their numbered order.
- Finish with a quiz such as The apartheid in SA-Key Terms, then revisit any weak spots with flashcards.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the strand The Cold War and the Contemporary World, within History. Teachers can use the slide sets on the response to apartheid, radicalised resistance and redefined resistance as ready-made lesson material. Choose one map today and see how much you can recall.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start on this page?
Begin with the Apartheid and Timeline of Apartheid mind maps for an overview. Then pick a specific law, such as the Pass Laws or the Bantu Education Act, before moving on to resistance and the end of apartheid. Quizzes work well once you have read a few maps.
Which quizzes can I try?
There are more than 10 quizzes, including Apartheid, South Africa Quiz, The Land Act, and several on Nelson Mandela. The one called The apartheid in SA-Key Terms is useful for checking vocabulary after you have worked through the maps.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Most resources are pitched at secondary level, and the listed materials mention A-level History and GCSE History. Some flashcards and notes refer to specific exam papers, so check that a resource matches your course before relying on it.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover the Dutch at the Cape, early life in South Africa, apartheid laws, the Bantu Education Act, Pass Laws, Black consciousness and the Soweto Uprising. A numbered series then follows the negotiations, CODESA and the first democratic election.
What if I can't find a topic I need?
Try the flashcard sets and slide sets, which often cover topics in a different way from the maps. If something is still missing, you can make your own mind map, quiz or flashcards with a free account.
