Those words are Apartheid, Governance and Evidence connected in one spectrum of analysis. When we say Governance in Uganda is of the Apartheid style, we must be ready to provide the evidence. The Thesis Statement is that &#8220;Governance in Uganda is of the Apartheid style&#8221;. But what is Apartheid? All humanity is one with natural races, natural ethnicities, and natural differences and similarities. However, Apartheid was created by man of the white race to accentuate differences between the races and ethnicities in order to dominate the black race racially, ecologically, politically, economically and&nbsp; socially.&nbsp; Thus, Apartheid was an ecological, racial, political, economic and social system in South Africa during the era of white supremacists who saw themselves as a pure&nbsp; race and ruled the country as a white minority. The supremacists enforced racial discrimination ecologically, constitutionally, institutionally, structurally, functionally and administratively against non-whites, mainly focused on skin colour and facial features. The whites who championed the practice of discriminatuon were those who were called &#8220;white Afrikaaner nationalists&#8221;. All governance in all spheres of human endeavour was Apartheid driven.&nbsp; It was governance that constitutionalised and institutionalised the Exclusion Principle, and de-constitutionalised and de-institutionalised the Inclusion Principle. The governed were excluded from viable, productive ecology, resources and opportunities and had their futures distorted. The Afrikaaner nationalists innovated a set of ideas about society, social organisation, the economy, culture and language. Under Apartheid, the creole language, Afrikaans, which evolved in the 19th Century during colonialism in South Africa,&nbsp; became the language of oppression in service of the historical divide and rule policy of the white Afrikaaner nationalists. Afrikaaner language, however, developed from many languages, including Portuguese, Malay, Indonesian and several indigenous languages; but it had its main roots in Dutch. It was highjacked by the white Afrikaaner Christian nationalists using education, propaganda and the media.&nbsp; Despite the highjack, it proved to be more than the oppresser&#8217;s language. It is spoken by 6 out of 10 of the almost 7m Afrikaans speakers in South Africa who are blacks. As the population of blacks grows, more blacks will speak it. Apartheid as a type of governance is traceable to 1913 when the South African Legislature passed the Land Law 1913, three years after its freedom from colonial rule. This law was the basis of sowing seeds of territorial segregation, forcing Africans to live in reserves, making it illegal for them to work as sharecroppers. The result was ecological segregation, assigning blacks to ecologically poor areas while whites captured the ecologically productive areas. Constitutionalised, institutionalised Apartheid, however, took root in South Africa, in 1948, a year before I was born, when White Afrikaners introduced a Constitution recognising 4 distinct ethnic groups: Whites, Asians, Coloured and Natives (Blacks). The Natives included many indigenous groups such as Zulu and Xhosa. Together, they were collectively subjects of supremacist prejudice, oppression, dispossession, displacement, exclusion and maximised divide and rule. The Constitution banned interracial marriages in favour of the small white supremacist ethnic group purity. Education was segregated, with all white universities and schools. African political organisations, especially the African National Congress (ANC), were banned, and any contact with the population militarily prevented by militarised Police. Any demonstrations were brutally quashed or crushed. African political leaders were either imprisoned or killed. A famous African leader who was imprisoned for 27 years on Roben Island, far away from the population,was Nelson Madiba Mandela,. He became the immediate&nbsp; post-Apartheid President of South Africa. A Black African who was killed for his conscience was Steve Biko in 1976. Besides, demonstrations were outlawed&nbsp; In the Soweto riots of June 1976 by school children, an estimated 176 children were gunned down, but other sources estimate that as many as 700 were killed by the militarised racist&nbsp; police and military. The racist regime was a politicomilitary regime, in which the instruments of coarcion ( police and army) were fused and jointly reigned terror on the Black population.&nbsp; Apartheid governance of South Africa , which fully started in 1949, continued until 1993 when a new Constitution 1993 outlawed Apartheid,took effect in 1994, enfranchised Blacks, and producd a coalition government, with Black majority rule and Nelson Madiba Mandela as the first Black President. He did not overstay the Constitutional Presidential term of 5 years, which was unusual in Africa. He found President Tibuhaburwa Museveni ruling Uganda, and he is still ruling, as ethnically as the White supremacists did. By 2011 the Majority Black majority constituted 76.4% of the South African population. Whites were 9.1%, Coloureds were 8.9%, Indians were 2.5% and other\/unspecified constituted 0.5%. It is clear that until the minority White supremacists passed power over to the Black majority, the Blacks were unjustifiably marginalised from power. Without power the Majority Africans could not access basic necessities of life either. They were slaves in their own country and a source of cheap labour for the White supremacists. But does Apartheid have to be practiced by whites only? No. Under majority rule, violent ethnic cleansing of White Farmers was reported by BBC News on 1st September 2018. Many Whites have been fleeing South Africa since the dawn of Black majority rule. In 2020 it was expected that 115,000 whites will have fled South Africa by 2021. There are many people -Ugandans and non-Ugandans -who believe that with the capture of the instruments of power by the National Resistance Movement (NRM)\/National Resistance Army (NRA) in 1986, an Apartheid-stylr governance has been taking root in Uganda. For example, Prof. Amii Omara-Otunnu ( 2014), in his pioneering article &#8220;Confronting Museveni&#8217;s Apartheid Style Regime in Uganda&#8221; (www.backstarnews, August 22, 2014), has given some evidence that President Museveni has introduced&nbsp; Apartheid Style Governance in the..."}
