Chapter 225: 225. APARTHEID

Magnus read the whole thing and got a brief understanding of what was going on. The whole system of South Africa was messed up and shouldn't exist in the current era.

[A/N: All that you are about to read is real, I am not making this up.]

Apartheid was characterised by an authoritarian political culture based on baasskap (or white dominance), which ensured that South Africa was dominated politically, socially, and economically by the nation's minority white population. According to this system of social stratification, white citizens had the highest status, followed by Asians and Coloureds, then black Africans.

Apartheid was delineated into petty apartheid, which entailed the segregation of public facilities and social events, and grand apartheid, which dictated housing and employment opportunities by race. The first apartheid law was passed just a year after South Africa became independent from the British, it was the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act, 1949, followed closely by the Immorality Amendment Act of 1950, which made it illegal for most South African citizens to marry or pursue sexual relationships across racial lines.

The Population Registration Act, 1950 classified all South Africans into one of four racial groups based on appearance, known ancestry, socioeconomic status, and cultural lifestyle: "Black", "White", "Coloureds", and "Indian", the last two of which included several sub-classifications. Places of residence were determined by racial classification.

Between 1960 and 1973, 1.5 million black Africans were removed from their homes and forced into segregated neighbourhoods as a result of apartheid legislation, in some of the largest mass evictions in modern history. Most of these targeted removals were intended to restrict the black population to ten designated "tribal homelands", also known as bantustans, four of which became nominally independent states. The government announced that relocated persons would lose their South African citizenship as they were absorbed into the bantustans.

Many opposing voices were also rising in the country, African National Congress was the leading anti-apartheid political movement, for ending segregation and introducing majority rule. And this was equally as bad, there needs to be an equal representation, there should be no one superior to the other.

Magnus felt as if South Africa was like some kind of an experiment, and the UK and the USA were ignoring it for now as the current government of South Africa was anti-communist.

He put the paper down. His mind was thinking something, and when he came to a conclusion, his eyes widened and he shot up, "DAMMIT! NO NO! If this went on, all my investments would go to ruin, damn these dumb politicians."

"What happened, dear?" Martha asked him, shocked by his spontaneous cursing.

"Nothing Grandma, I just found some muggles to be worse than the purebloods. I will go and deal with it now, Dobby, drop me at my home." Magnus rushed.

Martha chuckled, "Hehe, muggle or wizard, all are the same, child, their kindness is usually just a farce."

Magnus was no saint, although he felt what was happening in South Africa was bad, but it did not affect him in any way possible, so he didn't care, or so he thought until he realised all his future plans could be spoiled because of these folks.

In his dictionary, be it a person of any colour if any of them think they are superior to the other, need to be bonked on the head with a good old obliviate so hard they forget what race even means.

~No wonder Elna so desperately wanted her family to be shifted from South Africa.~ he realised.

...

*POP*

"Sup Mag, you got a phone call from Pfizer, they said they made a new medicine but have no idea what to do with it." Ragnar told him lazily.

But Magnus ignored him, "No time, Rag, we might have to go to South Africa as soon as possible. Pack your bags."

"AWESOME, SUMMER HOLIDAYS!" Ragnar cheered up and waved his wand proudly to pack his bags. He was only good at a few low-level charms but he was proud of it dammit.

Magnus meanwhile picked up his phone and called Adrian and Ted. "I need you at Buckingham Palace in 10 minutes, emergency meeting."

Later, he called the queen, who did not have a mobile phone, "Granny Liz, I need you and the prime minister at the palace in 10 minutes, emergency meeting."

The queen on the other side felt happy, being called Granny once again. Her bad mood from days just vanished in an instant. "I understand, will call him now."

Magnus quickly found Abe and asked him to teleport them to the palace. He and Ragnar arrived there in a second, "Abe you stay here, we might need you later."

He and Ragnar headed to the Queen's office, it had enough space for everybody to talk with. He was of course the first one to arrive.

As he was on the way to the office, he saw the old man Mountbatten. "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"Just returned with the oil tankers, came to report the matter," Mountbatten replied. He was so old and yet he did not feel very tired even after this long journey.

"Good, come with me then, we have another emergency." He told him and walked ahead.

The one to arrive late was going to be the Prime Minister, as he was a muggle. The queen arrived minutes later.

"What's the matter, Magnus?" She inquired.

"Our plan to add Overseas Territories as a permanent part is in danger, let others come, I will explain." He replied and waited.

Soon Ted and Adrian also arrived, being wizards was convenient, in half an hour the Prime Minister also arrived. They all took seats. Magnus immediately put various newspaper cutouts in front of them.

"Tell me, are we supporting this mess?" He asked the Prime Minister sternly. Ragnar, Ted, Adrian and Lord Mountbatten looked at the newspaper.

The Prime minister nodded, "Yes, and no. We don't support racism of course, but we can not let a new government take power right now, because the next one might go towards the Soviets."

*BANG*

Magnus slammed his fist on the table, "Do you have any idea how much money we will lose if we don't do anything? TRILLIONS! The whole world already sees us as colonisers, enslavers and thieves. South Africa was our mess to begin with, and we are still pouring gas in the fire? Have you gone mad?

"The future, in 10-30 years, will be different from what it is now. As the day of communication arrives the world will be more connected than before. And you don't want any bad spots on your image at that point.

"I have investments in Africa and have big plans for it in the future. All African nations will refuse to cooperate with us if we are seen as colonisers. I understand, being a coloniser was the trend of that era, but this is the modern world now, and we can't be seen as the same.

"Seriously, Britain could have been as big as Russia if we had instead used our brain and decided to rather than dividing the world on the basis of colour and language had tried to unite the colonies under one flag, as a part of our own, citizens of Britain and if they were treated right, they would have loved to become British, but no, we had to be short-sighted. Now, we need to fix this mess."

~TRILLIONS? What's so good about Africa?~ the prime minister wondered.

"How do you propose we start this campaign to wash our image?" Lord Mountbatten asked.

Magnus turned to the Prime Minister, "Put trade sanctions on South Africa and arms embargo, heavily publicise it around the globe, remember, WE need to look like the best people in the world. Heavily publicise our efforts in the USA too, as talks about freedom there are pretty hot. Along with their ongoing anti-war sentiment, we can add this to it.

"Next, we are a permanent member of the UNSC, try to pass a resolution to put sanctions and arms embargo on South Africa from around the world. The world will have no choice but to agree to it, Russia will be happy, China will agree since they want to be in our good books right now, USA and France will follow suit. And tell Israel to back off from helping them in making nukes. Understood?"

"What about the South African country itself?" The queen inquired.

Magnus smiled and turned to his Order of Merlin members, "I got a plan for that. It's time to visit Africa."

"What will you do?" Lord Mountbatten inquired, however, Ted and Adrian had gotten an idea by now. Both of them stood up at the same time.

"I will prepare my luggage," Ted said.

"And I will gather some men to come along," Adrain added.

Chapter 226: 226. 1 Wizard boy Vs A Country

They gathered their things and arrived in Cape Town, South Africa with a portkey. Their visit was unofficial so they were going to stay hidden most of the time.

There was a branch of both MEDA and Tonks & Tonks here, so they sent a car to pick them up. It was MEDA actually, as they consist of only wizards. MEDA may be a small company in terms of the number of employees, but their services were the best and they were present around the world too.

They soon arrived at the rented building for the office of MEDA. It was a small 3 storey building.

"Is there any ministry of magic in this country?" Magnus inquired.

"No, there is no ministry, all the major magical countries are in the north, Uganda is one of the strongest with its world-renowned Uagadou, the Ugandan wizarding school. It is the largest of the eleven wizarding schools, accepting students from all over Africa." Adrian explained to him.

"This makes our job easier, and no magical oversight means nobody can question us. Adrian, we are going to need a trustworthy South African man, who is either a wizard or a muggle-who-knows.

"The current scenario is simple, the government is bound to fall someday, and the new government will have a vendetta against the whites of this country since they exploited the other for decades. That would not lead to the ideal situation, we need peace and stability, for this, we need a leader from the African coloured people and one from the whites, they will join hands and write some new amendments in the constitution, removing all the Apartheid related laws and establishing new checks and balances for equality and unity of the country.

"For this, all means are open. Use magic if you need to, obliviate if you need to, this is a matter of trillions and the well being of the whole African continent. Who is the president of the African National Congress?" he inquired after telling the plan.

The manager of South African operations of MEDA spoke, he was of European descent and his ancestors had settled here, he was of course one of the privileged class for being white, but he was uncaring towards it as his family has been wizards for generations, the only reason he joined the company was that he was the second child and all family business went to his elder brother.

"I am Roger Burgess, Your Majesty, the president of ANC is Nelson Mandela, he is in prison, despite international pressure to release him, the government has not. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, the prosecution even asked for a death sentence, all for lofty four counts of sabotage and conspiracy to violently overthrow the government. He's been in prison since 1964." Roger explained.

Magnus was taken aback, "How self-destructing can this government be? How do they think they can forever rule over the majority population by being discriminatory?"

"Roger and Adrian, I want you to implant memories of yourself in the mind of Nelson Mandela and the high ranking people of ANC, also the leaders of the current National Party government. After that, use any means possible and get Mandela out of prison, use Imperius if you must, make the current Prime Minister quit, make the government fall, then make Nelson take his place, Roger, you become the second most important leader of the government.

"Then bring in the reforms, I will send aid to help the poor, but you must do as I say if you want to create a self-sufficient government and country. However, you must retire after reforming the government and the constitution, because I don't want a wizard to rule like a dictator." He instructed them both.

"What's my job in all this?" Ted inquired.

Magnus smiled, "You are here for a good show, to create a false story. Roger will be the one to hire you as the lawyer for Nelson. You have the reputation of never losing a case, hence you are expensive, now suddenly a good old friend of Nelson helped him out. It will directly skyrocket Roger's image. This way, we get a direct entry into politics. Then Roger will become the man to make the current Prime Minister step down. His name will be publicised.

"But in no way can the new government be only filled with coloured people. All races are needed in it."

Magnus knew that although what was happening right now wasn't good, it was also true that in 1949, the African community started large scale attacks on the Indian community, which was the third biggest racial demographic here.

Shops were burnt, old and young women were murdered and r*ped, and men were killed. It was total chaos. From many accounts, the white population cheered at that time, telling the Africans to kill the Coolies, a derogatory term used for Indians in South Africa since the time they were brought from India by the British to work in the fields and many gold mines.

Instead of uniting under one purpose of overthrowing the government, the Africans decided to kill and harm a community that was also marginalised and wronged. South Africa was a cluster of problems that started with race and ended with it.

From all this, Magnus knew he could not trust a single community to do good. A mixed style of government was needed.

"Now let's do it. Ragnar, you produce a calming drought that can be used as a smoke bomb, but the smoke must be invisible. I know when the current regime falls, some riots and violence might erupt. I will use these to calm them." He planned.

The plan was going to take time to come to fruition but it will be worth it. Magnus' dream of adding Zimbabwe to the British mainland was only possible if the local population also supported it. And what better way than becoming the true champion of freedom and democracy, unlike the United States, which was going through a bad image currently with the defeat in Vietnam.

If Magnus' plans were successful, then soon Britain will have the potential to become a greater power than the USA, because then Britain will have its own land all around the world. They will be able to make their military bases without paying any fees to countries.

"Ragnar, you make the Potions, I will go and see why the Pfizer CEO was looking for me." He informed Ragnar and left.

He had already established a Portkey in the MEDA office in South Africa now, he just brought the second part of the set here.

...

From the office building in Britain, he called for a car, then he went directly to the Pfizer company.

"So, what's the matter?" He asked the CEO, Max Strand. The company was currently in a very good state because Magnus doesn't shy away from granting them research money.

Max was a medium build man with dark hair. He was in his mid-thirties. "Thank you for coming here, sir. I just wanted to show you something."

He led Magnus to a lab with a lot of people working. Max then showed him a small pill.

"We created this Sildenafil, which was originally developed to treat cardiovascular problems. It was meant to dilate the heart's blood vessels by blocking a particular protein called PDE-5. In animal tests, it seemed to work moderately well: researchers could find evidence that it was impeding PDE-5, and the animals weren't having any obvious negative side effects. So, it was brought into a phase one clinical trial earlier this year to test whether humans can tolerate the new compound.

However, things became problematic." Max replied in detail, telling everything.

"What? Just tell me everything." Magnus nudged him.

Max shyly looked at him, "I don't know if I should tell you this. Well... It appears that the blood vessels dilating were not in the heart, but rather the penis, as dilating blood vessels is part of the process that leads to erections. The test subjects noticed a strong erection.

The sildenafil is working, sir, but in the wrong part of the body."

(=_=")

Magnus was taken aback, but then he howled in laughter, "Hahaha... my brother discovered this before though. He has already developed this erection medicine."

~Only if it could also help me. *Sigh*~ Magnus said to himself.

This was Max's turn to be shocked.

But Magnus' next words made him happy, "Sell this advertised as an energy booster, stimulation enhancer in the market, while doctors can give it to those with Erectile dysfunction.

"We can make billions from this alone."

"YES SIR!" His approval excited Max, billions in revenue means millions in bonuses.
