Explanation:

National Party (NP), also known as the Nationalist Party, was a political party in South Africa founded in 1914 and disbanded in 1997. Originally an Afrikaner ethnic nationalist party that promoted Afrikaner interests in South Africa.

As a governing party of South Africa in 1948, led by P. W. Botha, implemented its policy of racial segregation, known as apartheid (separation of non - whites from the whites).

They began to implement the following:

1. white supremacy over the non - whites.

2. non - whites have no voting rights.

3. encouraged segregation from the non - whites.

4. penalties for non - whites entering into areas designated for whites - only. (pass laws)

5. inter racial marriage and sexual relationship were illegal and punishable offences,

6. significant restrictions on property rights (non - whites workers were forced to live outside cities in residential areas known as townships).

7. pass and influx laws comprehensively restricted the rights of the non - white population.

8. the legal system of political, economic and social separation of races intended to maintain and extend political and economic control of South Africa by the white minority.

They outlawed African National Congress (ANC) as a terrorist organisation.

The policies of the NP - led government faced internal unrest in South Africa and international pressure against them. Thus, they were forced to grand the creation of Bantustans (autonomous self - governing Black homelands) but they still maintained apartheid and white supremacy.

Thus, the attitude of the South Africa's National Party is racist in nature.
