The Dutch established a trading station at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652, leading to the settlement of various European groups, who came to be known as Afrikaners. During the Apartheid era, racial tensions grew, leading to discriminatory laws that enforced segregation and denied basic rights to Black South Africans. The African National Congress was founded to resist the oppressive regime, but life was severely restricted for non-Whites under apartheid rule.
