Although apartheid was officially abolished in 1994, its long-lasting effects continue to shape South Africa’s society, economy, and political landscape in powerful ways. This paper examines the enduring legacy of apartheid by analyzing key issues such as economic inequality, unequal access to education, racial disparities in property ownership, and the ongoing discrimination that affects how different racial groups are treated in daily life. Despite efforts by the government and civil society to correct past injustices, such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), and land redistribution programs, the deep divisions created by apartheid remain. Many South Africans still live in poverty, with limited opportunities for upward mobility, and racial inequalities continue to affect job access, income levels, and quality of education. The author discusses recent protests like FeesMustFall and RhodesMustFall, about the unfair treatment people still experience in South Africa. These groups mainly consist of youths and disadvantaged sections who desire improved education, fair treatment by the government, and more equality among people. In the writer’s words, even though the apartheid laws have ended, the effects and problems are still present. In order to address this, South Africa must develop new policies and encourage all people to address the wrongs of the past. A fair and inclusive country can only be built when people work as a team and strive for equality
