Yes they did, during apartheid laws were passed that ensured and promoted the well-being and domination of other races over blacks, there was no equal opportunities to all races which meant that whites especially enjoyed supremacy over blacks.

Who were disadvantaged during apartheid?

The native people (Blacks) and the coloureds (Asians) were disadvantaged during the apartheid. This is due to the Afrikaans (whites) stating authority over the other two racial groups. The coloureds had a higher rating of status because they mainly dealt with the exports (trade) of the nation and therefore were usually of a middle class income, whilst the blacks were the 'lowest of the low'. The Afrikaans introduced the Apartheid which simply means the division of a nation into racial groups to gain further control of South Africa. The Afrikaans introduced legislation that meant that the blacks and coloureds had to live outside white cities, had to use separate facilities, weren't allowed in white areas etc. The Afrikaans did this because they believed that they were the 'chosen people' (much like the Israelites). Back then they thought they were superior and pure and the coloured and the blacks were dirty and inferior.

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.
