I visited South Africa during apartheid. IIRC, at the time a manual laborer or house servant was typically paid about $30.
Per month.
Most white people had a cook, a maid, a gardener, and a nanny if they had children.
They weren’t allowed to live in white areas, have white jobs, go to White schools, enter whites only beaches or parks, etc.
Hundreds of thousands of people were detained without trial, tens of thousands more were killed. But no, I’m sure he didn’t see any impression.
A very good and dramatic movie of the time is Biko, about the life and death of an anti-apartheid activist, and the newspaper editor he convinced to change sides.
