Critically discuss the impact of the Tricameral Parliament system on South
African society during its implementation. What were the primary
objectives, and how did it affect different racial groups? Use examples to
support your analysis.
The Tricameral Parliament system in South Africa, implemented in 1984,
was a significant and controversial aspect of the apartheid regime. It aimed
to provide a semblance of political participation to certain racial groups
while maintaining white minority control. This system had profound impacts
on South African society, deeply affecting various racial groups in different
ways.
Primary Objectives
The primary objectives of the Tricameral Parliament system were:
1. Preserve White Dominance: The system aimed to maintain the
political and economic dominance of the white minority while
addressing internal and external pressures for reform.
2. Divide and Rule: By creating separate legislative chambers for
different racial groups, the government sought to divide the non-white
population and reduce unified opposition against apartheid.
3. International Image: The system was also intended to project an
image of reform and inclusion to the international community, which
was increasingly critical of apartheid policies.
