Baasskap

J. G. Strijdom, Prime Minister of South Africa (1954–1958), an uncompromising supporter of baaskap

Baasskap ([ˈbɑːskap]) (also spelled baaskap), literally "boss-ship" or "boss-hood", was a political philosophy prevalent during South African apartheid that advocated the social, political and economic domination of South Africa by its minority white population generally and by Afrikaners in particular.[1][2] The term is sometimes translated to the English-language term "white supremacy" and functioned either as a description or an endorsement of white minority rule in South Africa.[3]
