Although civil war and widespread violence did not break out after South Africa gained its independence, the new country struggled with  racial conflicts that emerged as a result of Apartheid.

Explanation:

Apartheid was the official system of racial segregation that operated in South Africa and present-day Namibia between 1948 and 1990.

The goal of apartheid was to maintain white dominance and separate the local population to achieve this. With the enactment of apartheid laws in 1948, racial discrimination was institutionalized. These laws affected every aspect of social life, including the prohibition of marriage between whites and nonwhites. In 1950, the Population Registration Act required that all South Africans be classified into three categories: white, black and colored. The latter consisted of the larger subgroups such as Indians and other Asians.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
