Answer:
Apartheid is a policy of discrimination on the base of class and colour of people. This was usually practised in Africa mostly in South Africa. The native africans were ' Black Skinned ' who were unjustly discriminated with respect to ' White Skinned ' people. This practise is currently abolished but till most of the 19th and 20th century it was practised.
The following are the condition of native africans during the period of apartheid :
a) Native africans were not given any kind of right. They were unjustly and cruelly treated .
b) They were not allowed to travel freely and often treated as ' slaves'.
All their properties and assets that they owned were taken back.
c) They were not allowed to contest elections and even did not have any voting rights. They were not allowed to go near ' White Skinned' people or travel with them.
d) If these native people tried to oppose this discrimination they were put behind the bars and forcibly executed. They were made as servants and made to do hard labour.
e) Government followed the preferential policy for the ' White Skinned' people. This made native africans remain discriminated in that field also. They were not allowed to be fairly educated or to hold any higher position in offices.
This made the lives of native africans during the period of apartheid very worse and hard. All of their livelihood was forcibly taken.
Thus their condition was very bad during that time.
