A
referendum on ending apartheid was held in
South Africa on 17 March 1992. The referendum was limited to White voters, who were asked whether or not they supported the negotiated reforms begun by
State President F. W. de Klerk two years earlier, in which he proposed to end the
apartheid system that had been implemented since 1948. The result of the election was a large victory for the "yes" side, which ultimately resulted in apartheid being lifted.
