Policy of separate racial development (9)

I believe the answer is:

apartheid

(Other definitions for apartheid that I've seen before include "regime" , "South Africa's former social policy - hit parade (anag)" , "former South African segregation system" , "Social policy of racial segregation" , "Former South African system of racial separation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
