Apartheid in Namibia: homelands, contract labour & segregation
Narrated lesson · press play
After 1948, South Africa did not just occupy Namibia — it forced its cruel system of apartheid onto our country. We'll see why and how it did this, and follow the machinery of oppression: the homelands of the Odendaal Plan, the contract labour system that tore families apart, and the segregation of housing, jobs and education. Then we'll weigh the deep social, economic and political scars apartheid left on Namibian society.
