Only 20 per cent of south Africans are white
but by the middle of the twentieth century
they owned almost 90 per cent of the land.
In 1948 the government started apartheid
Which means separateness. With apartheid African indian
And asian south africans were discriminated against.
While whites had many privileges.
Only white south africans could live in certain areas
Have certain jobs and vote.
Apartheid was very unfair but people
who protested against it were often sent to prison or murdered.
