    Pretty sure she was in office in 1993 when Apartheid ended....

      Particularly in the United States of America. When did segregation end there? Was it the 1960s? Their "democratic government" was even shooting student protestors as late as 1970.

    Well, you answered part of the question. Now, just to be sure, apartheid was a South African thing, right? And, who colonized South Africa? Yeah, sure, England was in on it, almost from the beginning. But, who actually colonized and settled most of South Africa? Those Boers had a lot to do with everything, from the first days, right up through today.
