PC: Apartheid South Africa survives into the 2000s

If the National Party hadn't won the election in 1948 and then promptly proceeded to seize the idiot ball, then a white minority government that gradually expands the franchise but still has whites dominate the country might have been hold things together until the 2000s. And such a one might stay in power by aligning themselves with the PRC for trade (and India if they have the brains to expand the franchise to Indians) and Russia to buy weapons from, making sanctions toothless.
Apartheid though was doomed from the start.
This would at the least though have required that Coloured and Indian voters be fully included into the power structure by the mid seventies at the absolute latest, otherwise its probably too late. This, of course, would not really be an apartheid system.
 
Maybe it was already mentioned, the Afrikaners wouldn’t want to give up power or cultural dominance. So those Eastern European immigrants would have to be Afrikaner nized so to speak. But this is an interesting forum so far.

Keep it up

No they wouldn't.

In OTL there were quite a few Eastern European immigrants and immigrants from Portugal, Greece etc. In general, those immigrants gravitated more to English South Africans, and would attend English schools etc.
