For the second time in two weeks, This Day in History takes us back to 1989, this time to South Africa, and an announcement by Prime Minister de Klerk that the Seperate Amenities Act, part of the Apartheid system, would be scrapped.
This came after decades of political segregation, which had become the focus of anti-Apartheid campaigners across the world.
