What effects did apartheid have on racial equality in south Africa?

The ruling National Party did not exclude black South Africans from education entirely. The "Bantu Education Act" was a piece of official legislation that governed how and what black people were taught during Apartheid. This now infamous piece of legislation was introduced by the "Architect of Apartheid", Hendrik F. Verwoerd. This act ensured that black people were directed into the unskilled labour market and ensured that black people were not educated enough (in most cases) that they would be able to form non-violent plans (i.e. plans of diplomacy) with which to fight their oppressors. This in effect dumbed down and demonised most of South Africa's population in the eyes of ordinary white South Africans.

How did apartheid affect the lives of black people in South Africa?

Apartheid caused many black South Africans to lose their jobs and livelihoods when they were forced to move to "black homelands". Black South Africans lost their South African citizenship and became citizens of their homeland. This allowed white South Africa to use them as cheap labor because, as non-citizens working in South Africa, the whites did not have to pay them a minimum wage or give them any legal rights.The land set aside for the black Africans was not the best land and became even worse due to years of erosion and mismanagement, thus causing widespread poverty in the black homelands. The black South Africans were not trained for taking care of the land and did not have the money needed to manage it properly. Forests were cut down to provide heat for homes and a way to cook meals.Many youths had to work and were not educated.Due to the overcrowding in the black homelands, there were problems with foot traffic and waste.And there was political violence due to the many factions fighting for control of the black homelands and fighting to end apartheid.
