If South Africa gained its independence from Britain in 1910, why did this not lead to freedom and equality in South Africa?

Answer 1

South Africa gained its independence from Britain in 1910, but this did not lead to freedom and equality in South Africa because the white minority government implemented a system of racial segregation known as apartheid. This system of racial segregation denied the majority of South Africans, who were black, their basic human rights and kept them in a state of inequality.
