Best Answer

the official number from the TRC ( Truth and reconciliation commitee) is 7000.

That is 7000 blacks were killed between 1942 and 1994.

In stark contrast : nearly 100000 whites have been killed since 1994.

How many coloured people died during apartheid?

I think at least a million died LOL! Actually - the official number is 7000 from 1942 to 1994. Close to 100000 whites have been killed since 1994. Just to put it into perspective! ^^^^ this guy is an idiot! wow. great answer. yes, alot of people died, but if you're going to put it on WikiAnswers, have a number. According to a Human Rights Commission report submitted to the TRC (Truth and Reconciliation Commission) in 1997 the number of blacks that died during Apartheid (1948 to 1989) was 7 000. Compared to 14 000 for the period 1990 to 1994. Compared to 174 220 for the period 1994 to 2000 (under Nelson Mandela) The report also states that about 92% of deaths were caused by 'black-on-black' violence. (1990 to 1994) Please note this is not from Apartheid Government's books but from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up by all political parties after the collapse of apartheid. If you really believe there to have been millions of deaths, do tell where you think the bodies are buried?
