Question 7 • S1S-OC: W. Hist/Geo/Cult 10B (E1172 - AG)
Apartheid kept most Black South Africans in poverty through job restrictions, low pay, and limited access to land and property, so they had a very low standard of living and could not freely own private property. The system also weakened the economy and contributed to stagnant growth. Most white citizens benefited from the racial hierarchy, so their wages did not generally remain low; the government also did not have a notably low level of debt.
