Describe the situation of the black in South Africa under the white.

During seventeenth to twentieth century, white people of Europe established their rule over the black people in South Africa. 

The whites had the right to vote, contest elections and elect government; they were free to purchase property and go to any place in the country. Blacks did not have such rights. Separate colonies for whites and blacks were established. The blacks had to take ‘passes’ to work in white neighbourhoods. They were not allowed to keep their families in the white areas. The schools were also separate for the people of different colour.
