Note that the old South Africa have Whites and non whites. The non whites were subdivided into Blacks, Indian, and coloured. I'm writing this from a Indian point of view. My grandparents were from India. I was born in the old South Africa. The Northern Natal coastal belt.
So here goes I'm just making a list in no specific order of experiences from the old South Africa.
All the different race groups lived in there own areas / townships. So we mostly interacted with our own kind.Each race group had their own schools. Some SA Indians with enough capital did built schools / Technikons for their community. Most education Facilities were government provided. The schools for the 'whites' were of a much higher standard than for the other race groups. The 'Indian' & 'Coloured' schools were medium class, While that of the 'Blacks" were very bad.
Nelson Mandela's name could not be spoken, for the fear of arrest.Most university courses, except medical and law were reserved for whites, I originally wanted to follow a path in ocean biology, I couldn't. Decided on architecture, with good matric results but unless your parents are rich the application was impossible. Verylittle or no bursary for non whites. The seats were also reserved mostly for whites. I ended up doing Architectural technology but couldn't complete my in-service training as there competition to get training which was biased towards the white students.When I was about 7 we took a family trip to St Lucia estuary. We children ran into the surf playfully. There comes 4 South Africa policemen spoke to the elders and forced us out of the surf. We were told to take the boat to the hippopotamus (one of the most dangerous African animals) invested island and play there.Most restaurants / hotels / nightclubs were closed to us, some did have separate sections.The Durban Beachfront (the Golden Mile) was divided into sections, the southern part for whites only. Non whites were either beaten or arrested or both in this part.Indians could only drive through the Orange Free State (an old SA province) even if your car broke down there you could be arrested.The government forced Christianity onto us. They provided the land, buildings for churches in Indian areas. Then paid a hansome salary to the pastor's and rigorously tried converting people. If I wanted to build a Hindu temple in and Indian area, the amount of red tape was a lot. And no sponsorship in any way from the government.This same applies to Mosques.
A non white couldn't own a beachfront flat (well a think a few blocks on North beach was allowed). The best properties, education & work was reserved for the white community.
In 1989 I was working (my 2dn job) in Durban's CBD. I got to work at about 7:30am. The pavement outside the building had a gaping hole in it, & some shattered shopfornt glass next to it. Discovered that there was a Bomb Blast at about 5am. Because of censorship we never heard of this in any local news. I did hear about it that night o BBC Radio.
I hope this will help you!

The apartheid system was particularly oppressive for the blacks because they were forbidden from living in white areas. They could
work in white areas only if they had a permit. Trains, buses, taxis, hotels, hospitals, schools and colleges, libraries, cinema halls, theatres, beaches, swimming pools public toilets, were all separate for the whites and blacks. This was called segregation. They could not even visit the churches where the whites worshipped. Blacks could not form associations or protest against the terrible treatment.
