Colonisation negatively affected the native people. Many natives were killed. The survivors had to move to infertile land or became slaves and adopted the white people’s lifestyles, so African culture, languages and religions were lost.

The Europeans brought diseases to South Africa which the natives weren’t immune to and many suffered and died.

Moreover, colonisation caused racism. The Europeans disrespected the black Africans, so the natives remained poor, unskilled and uneducated. The natives were forced to work in mines for low wages, leaving their families and living in poor-condition.

However, colonisation had positive impacts. The white constructed locomotives to transport miners and minerals, improving the transportation system in South Africa.

Machines and technology were introduced to South Africa. New factories were constructed, economically benefiting the country. Besides, South Africa became more prosperous through trading exported goods.

The Europeans brought medicines and built hospitals, raising the health standard of the natives.
