“Apartheid has been grossly misrepresented by the Internationalists in the Western Media.”

You’re really getting desperate.

“It was basically intended to reverse the lumping of those distinct Nations together by the former Colonial power, and was never fully implemented because of industry’s desire for cheap labor.”

Apartheid was invented by whites, specifically Afrikaaners, as a way to practice segregation in a world which was turning against racial segregation. The “homeland” idea was used as cover and as a system of coercion. That is why the Zulu’s “homeland” was such a gerrymanded nonsense. That’s why the Japanese were designated as “honorary whitemen” when they visited South Africa. You’re not only a sucker for believing what you believe, but you’re the worst kind of sucker.

Your argument consists of trashing other people's motives. But you fail to offer any actual response to my points, based upon on the ground knowledge of the subject.

Those "homelands," were hardly a cover-up. They were the result of the interaction of the various nations, particularly in the 19th Century, in which the Colonial power was consolidating what is now "South Africa."

I would suggest that you open your eyes, and see the common pattern that has emerged in Africa & Asia, that suppresses a lot of peoples, not just the South African Whites, who in many respects just happen to have a history that most closely parallels our own--so far as times of settlement; struggles with the Colonial Power; and kindred pioneer values.

The Brits actually started Apartheid, once they took over; it just wasn’t called that and it wasn’t just aimed at the various different black tribes, but also at the “coloureds” and the then defeated Afrikaners !
