Question

'The apartheid system was an unjust system'. Do you agree? Justify.​

Answer 1

The system of apartheid followed in South Africa was unjust and racist because

(i) The blacks were forbidden from living in white areas. They could work in white areas only if they had a permit.

(ii) Trains, buses, taxis, hotels, hospitals, schools and colleges, libraries, cinema halls, theatres, beaches, swimming pools, public toilets, churches, etc

were all separate for the whites and blacks.

(iii) Blacks could not form associations or protest against the terrible treatment.

Thus, the apartheid system was particularly oppressive for the blacks.
