Just about everything that you can think of is segregated. The non-whites aren't allowed to live in the same places as the whites. They aren't even allowed to go to the same beaches. Isn't this unfair?
Life Like Under Apartheid in South Africa
Apartheid affects every aspect of life greatly in South Africa. In South African people are divided into three categories: white, black, or colored. If you are non-white, then you have to live in homelands which are also called townships. If you lived in these, then you have to carry passbooks 24/7. Passbooks show your race and it identifies you. If a officer asks to see your passbook, then it is required that you show them. If you don't show your passbook, then you can get arrested, beaten, or killed. Apartheid also allows whites to rule and blacks to serve. The political protests are either non-violent or violent. Anyone who protests can be imprisoned for up to six months without a hearing. If you do protest then you might be tortured, whipped, or sentenced to death.
