Definition: In the Bible, "Apartheid" refers to racial segregation in South Africa during apartheid era. It was a system where black people were not allowed to vote or hold political office. This made whites more powerful and controlled over them politically and economically. The term was used to describe the discriminatory practices of this system that ended in 1994 with the end of apartheid, but it also continues today as a symbol of racial injustice in many other countries worldwide.
