History In 1948, the National Party won the elections for the Union of South Africa. She passed several serious laws that severely limited the rights of the black population. Its goal was to create "South Africa for whites". All communist parties were also banned. The world community recognized the South African regime as openly fascist and called on it to end the policy of racial discrimination.

In 1961, the Union of South Africa withdrew from the Commonwealth of Nations, as a result of which an independent state was proclaimed - the Republic of South Africa.

In September 1989, South Africa began to take active steps to eliminate racial discrimination. Many segregate laws have been repealed.

In 1994, a general election was held in South Africa, which was won by the African National Congress, which set a course for the democratic reconstruction of the country.

In 2006, South Africa became the fifth state in the world, as well as the first and only African country to legalize same-sex marriage on its territory.

In April 2011, South Africa was admitted to the BRICS, becoming the fifth and currently the last member of this organization.

In July 2021, a wave of riots and protests broke out in the province of KwaZulu-Natal in connection with the arrest of the former president of South Africa. Initially, the riots were peaceful protests, but very soon they turned into large-scale robberies and acts of violence, which led to a large number of civilian casualties. At the moment, the riots in South Africa continue.
