How much more hardline could they get without moderates like PW Botha? I'm mostly asking who could replace him and adopt a stance much more in favor of maintaining Apartheid to the bitter end.How more "hardline" do you want? IOTL they had regulations surrounding identity, marriage, births, the Sharpsville Massacre, etc. That seems pretty hard line to me.

Seeing how the Conservative Party formed on the basis of opposition to the limited reform of Apartheid, what chance do they have in attaining power?Perhaps someone from the the Conservative Party, like Andries Treurnicht.
I don't think Apartheid could've been prolonged for any substantial amount of time but yes, I want to see a POD that follows 1963 sees Apartheid come under a leadership of even more hardline officials with what I pointed out in the OP. Ideas?So instead of how hard Apartheid was, you just want to see it prolonged? I think the worldwide divestment programme made sure that wasn't going to happen.
Or Albert Hertzog. To put things mildly, banning TV would be the least of his regime's crimes.Perhaps someone from the the Conservative Party, like Andries Treurnicht.
Wouldn't it be worse in this case?Do you mean a South Africa that combines really nasty legal racism with 1920s Mississippi style lynchings?
While that would certainly be interesting, I'd like something that sees Apartheid SA go even more hardline than OTL instead of doing away with it in the first place.The best way to avoid Apartheid is to avoid the Great Trek and the Boer Wars, both of which made the Afrikaners very insular and suspicious of outsiders.
Maybe a Kosovo like intervention od NATO after end of Cold War if radical regime continues and even further radicalized? (maybe even gives Neonazi like militias free reign).While that would certainly be interesting, I'd like something that sees Apartheid SA go even more hardline than OTL instead of doing away with it in the first place.
Either him, or have Constand Viljoen seize power.What about Magnus Malan? Though, from what I recall of his ' ideas' he might run South Africa's economy into the ground first (I might be confusing him with another hardliner) before he makes apartheid worse.
I can see a UN intervention in a scenario where Apartheid is somewhat prolonged but ends up collapsing some time between 1990-2000.Maybe a Kosovo like intervention od NATO after end of Cold War if radical regime continues and even further radicalized? (maybe even gives Neonazi like militias free reign).
And I don’t think OTL South Africa had TV until the mid-1970s, for crying out loud!. . . banning TV would be the least of his regime's crimes.
What if it evolves more into a (military) dictatorship with racial ideology?Supposing we see the execution of Nelson Mandela's group at Rivonia in 1963-64 and/or South African success in Angola, could there be the rise of more hardline figures within the National Party and the South African government at large? Which figures could play this role?
