      ab: This paper opines that apartheid, though abolished, was not peculiar to South Africa, but prevalent in many post-independence African states in form of social injustice wherein the politics of allocation of amenities has entrenched the system of segregation, discrimination exploitation and oppression against a majority group of people by a minority group as captured by Ifeoma Okoye in The Fourth World and Festus Iyayi in Violence. The conclusion is that it is not yet Uhuru (freedom) for African states, because apartheid is still very much present in form of gross social injustice, and that meaningful progress in society can only be achieved through its eradication.
