Abstract
Prior to 1948 and the introduction of de jure apartheid, South Africa already operated under a de facto culture of racial segregation. Apartheid solidified and sanctioned these social barriers, especially in education where apartheid policy fostered “separate [intellectual] development for separate ethnic groups” (Fataar, 1997, p. 340; Wieder, 2001).
