How did white south africans control black south africans during apartheid?
By the use of guns and brute force. The above answer is simplistic and one sided. Apartheid was a political and social system that control the whole aspect of life in South Africa. Laws made it difficult if not impossible for blacks to move freely thereby dooming them to a tribal life with few opportunities to excel in life. Migrant worker policies destroyed the fabric of family life in black families. Group Areas Act made it impossible for blacks to live where they choose. A schooling system designed to keep students ignorant and virtually uneducated. The list goes on and on but the point is that force was but one strategy used by the Apartheid regime.
Does Apartheid still have an impact on South Africa?
It's complicated, here in S.A. they still want to get back at the white people for making life so hard for the coloured people. Black people are more likely to get a job now and everyone is suffering because some people can't forgive and forget. But to answer your question, YES

How were whites treated during the years of apartheid?
The living conditions for the native Africans during the time of apartheid were very terrible. The Afrikaner government of the time had made it so that black people could not own any land in 87% of South Africa due to the Group Areas Act enforced in 1950. The black people were only aloud in 13% of their own land even though they vastly outnumbered the white people in population and the 13% of the country that they were aloud to own which were called the reserves had unfertile soil and no real residential construction. The Africans were forced to make their homes out of corrugated iron, scrap wood and pretty much what ever they could find and the cost of the land was very expensive and unfortunately not much has changed since the abolition of apartheid.
