Maya's mother sounded angry when she spoke about life under apartheid. She told Maya that in those days whites hospitals were separate and so were ambulances. An ambulance meant for white people would always be well equipped while one meant for black people was not. There were separate trains and buses. Even the bus stops were different for black and white people.
Non-whites were not allowed to vote. The best land in the country was reserved for the white people, and nonwhites had to live on the worst available land. Thus blacks and coloured people were not considered to be equal to whites. School students were being forced to learn this language but they wanted to learn their own language, Zulu. The South African police beat up the protestors mercilessly and shot at the crowd. One of their bullets killed Hector. This was on 16 June 1976.
