ANSWER
- (i) Apartheid was the name of a system of racial discrimination imposed on South Africa by the white Europeans. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the trading companies from Europe occupied South Africa with arms and forces.
(ii) Afterwards a large number of 'whites' got settled there and became the local rulers. The system of apartheid divided the people and labelled them on the basis of their skin colour.
(iii) The native people of South Africa are black in colour. There were others who were of mixed races and were called coloured'. People who migrated from India also comprised the non-white population.
