Question

what did segregation mean in South africa

Answer 1

Segregation in South Africa (SA) was common before 1994. It was a ill practice followed by the white people who came there for trading purpose but started separating traditional people on the basis of their skin colour. The White or the Minority people were considered to be the rulers and owned most of the property. The Blacks or the Indian(also coloured) or the majority were not even allowed to visit the public places such as toilet, cinema halls, hotels, schools, and even beaches.

Trains, buses, taxis, hotels, hospitals, schools and colleges, libraries, cinema halls, theatres, beaches, swimming pool, public toilets, were all separate for the whites and blacks in South Africa. This was called 'Segregation'.
