Whites held all positions of power in South Africa, even though they were a minority in the population.

All races had the right to vote in South Africa, but white citizens tended to win elections.

Although some discrimination existed, non-whites participated in all aspects of society.

Explanation

White South Africans were a minority of the population, but apartheid laws reserved political power and many positions of authority for whites. Non-white South Africans faced severe legal discrimination and restrictions, so the statement that whites held positions of power despite being a minority is most accurate.
