A referendum on ending apartheid was held in South Africa on 17 March 1992.
 The referendum was limited to white South African voters, who were asked whether or not they supported the negotiated reforms begun by State President F. W. de Klerk two years earlier, in which he proposed to end the apartheid system that had been implemented since 1948.
 The result of the election was a large victory for the "yes" side, which ultimately resulted in apartheid being lifted. Disinvestment from South Africa
Disinvestment (or divestment) from South Africa was first advocated in the 1960s, in protest of South Africa's system of apartheid, but was not implemented on a significant scale until the mid-1980s.
 The disinvestment campaign, after being realized in federal legislation enacted in 1986 by the United States, is credited by some as pressuring the South African Government to embark on negotiations ultimately leading to the dismantling of the Apartheid system. A World Apart (film)

Inequality in post-apartheid South Africa
President Nelson Mandela's democratic election in 1994 marked the end of apartheid in South Africa,  a system of widespread racially based segregation to enforce almost complete separation of the different races in South Africa.
 Under the apartheid, South Africans were classified into four different races: white, black, coloured, and Indian/Asian, with about 80% of the South African population classified as black, 9% as white, 9% as coloured, and 2% as Indian/Asian.
 Under apartheid, whites held almost all political power in South Africa, with other races almost completely marginalized.
 While the end of apartheid enabled the nation to maintain full legal equality of all South Africans, regardless of race, today’s South Africa struggles to correct the social inequalities created by decades of apartheid.
 Despite a rising GDP, indices for poverty, unemployment, income inequality, life expectancy, land ownership, have declined due to the increase in population, with the end of the apartheid system in South Africa leaving the country socio-economically stratified by race.
 Subsequent government policies have sought to correct inequity with varying amounts of success. Kaffir Boy
