Abstract
Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and
discrimination that existed in South Africa from 1948 until the early 1990s.
The system was based on white supremacy and the repression of the black
majority for the benefit of the politically and economically dominant
Afrikaner minority and other whites. Apartheid legislation itself was
repealed in 1991 and a non-racial government was established following
national elections in 1994.
Benjamin Moloise was s South African poet, political activist and the
follower of the then forbidden African National Congress. He was convicted
to capital punishment by the apartheid regime of P.W. Botha, allegedly for
murdering a policeman in 1982. He was hanged on 18 Oct 1985 at the
Pretoria Central Prison despite world wide pleas for clemency. His
execution by the apartheid regime led to international protests and street
battles in South Africa.
