The Largest Vestige of Apartheid Still Stands.

When the old Apartheid laws were abolished on June 17 1991 most people thought that the final vestiges of Apartheid were gone -but this was not the case. The largest vestige of Apartheid was the artificial macro State of South Africa itself the British created with the South Africa Act of 1909. This state still stands in its exact form as it was established in the legislation which was passed in the British Parliament. Grand Apartheid or Separate Development -as developed by Werner Eiselen & Hendrik Verwoerd was an attempt at dealing with the macro state with the inherent flaw of not giving up the macro state itself as the Apartheid laws were just extensions of the macro state which did not reform itself out of existence. Apartheid has been noted as an attempt at maintaining order among different nations who were forced together into one unnatural state with unnatural measures. Grand Apartheid would not have even been deemed necessary had the British not created the macro state of South Africa forcing numerous formerly independent nations & kingdoms into one unitary state. It was an awkward & unsuccessful attempt at reversing Colonialism. Though Apartheid itself originated with the British when they introduced the pass laws & segregation to the Cape & Natal during the 19th cent. Hendrik Verwoerd is often cited as the architect of Grand Apartheid but the greatest monument of Verwoerd still stands: the Republic of South Africa. After all it was Verwoerd who as Prime Minister -after wining a referendum on the issue among the White electorate- turned the state of South Africa into a republic.
