My twopenn'orth is that it is probably better to say Apartheid in terms of South Africa, but in Rhodesia one should prefer the term 'European' and 'African'. This doesn't imply that the governments were directed by Europe, merely that they were composed of people who were descended from European settlers. This was the accepted term used at the time. Rhodesia did not have an Apartheid system; it was at times suggested, but ruled out as impractical. .  fys aym.
