Humphrey Bogart did not get along with Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. He nicknamed Holden “Smiling Jim”, and said that Hepburn was quite untalented and could not act. Bogart later apologized to Wilder for his behavior on-set, citing problems in his personal life.

When Holden appears in many pictures, the hair is dyed black. But he could wear his hair natural, and did in his early career which began as a child actor in the thirties. He was a little blondish then, before Golden Boy in 1939.

The two European countries who occupied the land were the Netherlands (1652-1795 and 1803-1806) and Great Britain (1795-1803 and 1806-1961). Although South Africa became a Union with its own white people government in 1910, the country was still regarded as a colony of Britain till 1961.

The British wanted to control South Africa because it was one of the trade routes to India. However, when gold and diamonds were discovered in the 1860s-1880s their interest in the region increased. The Boers disliked British rule. They wanted a simple farming life.

They collectively control over $1 trillion worth of Africa’s most valuable resources. The UK government has used its power and influence to ensure that British mining companies have access to Africa’s raw materials. This was the case during the colonial period and is still the case today.

The first European settlement in southern Africa was established by the Dutch East India Company in Table Bay (Cape Town) in 1652. Created to supply passing ships with fresh produce, the colony grew rapidly as Dutch farmers settled to grow crops.

Increased European encroachment ultimately led to the colonisation and occupation of South Africa by the Dutch. The Cape Colony remained under Dutch rule until 1795 before it fell to the British Crown, before reverting back to Dutch Rule in 1803 and again to British occupation in 1806.

HOST COUNTRIES: South Africa (2.9 million), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (952,871) and Angola (656,434) were estimated to be the three countries hosting the highest number of international migrants in the sub-region at mid-year 2020 (UN DESA, 2020).

The European countries were able to colonise African countries rapidly because there were rivalries between African leaders. European powers could easily take control of any source of land by using force and violence.

Apartheid, the Afrikaans name given by the white-ruled South Africa’s Nationalist Party in 1948 to the country’s harsh, institutionalized system of racial segregation, came to an end in the early 1990s in a series of steps that led to the formation of a democratic government in 1994.

When did apartheid start? Racial segregation had long existed in white minority-governed South Africa, but the practice was extended under the government led by the National Party (1948–94), and the party named its racial segregation policies apartheid (Afrikaans: “apartness”).

The apartheid system in South Africa was ended through a series of negotiations between 1990 and 1993 and through unilateral steps by the de Klerk government. These negotiations took place between the governing National Party, the African National Congress, and a wide variety of other political organisations.

During the 1800’s slavery had been an issue not only around the country but throughout the world. It created many disputes and caused many violent outbursts. To some they thought slavery was unjust and inhumane but to others they thought that it was the only way to make profit.

Apartheid is an Afrikaans word meaning “separateness”, or “the state of being apart”, literally “apart-hood” (from the Afrikaans suffix -heid). Its first recorded use was in 1929.

Under apartheid, nonwhite South Africans (a majority of the population) would be forced to live in separate areas from whites and use separate public facilities. President de Klerk and activist Nelson Mandela would later win the Nobel Peace Prize for their work creating a new constitution for South Africa.
