Base your answer to the question on the passage below and on your knowledge of social studies.The genius of apartheid was convincing people who were the overwhelming majority to turn on each other. Apart hate, is what it was. You separate people into groups and make them hate one another so you can run them all.At the time, black South Africans outnumbered white South Africans nearly five to one, yet we were divided into different tribes with different languages:Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana, Sotho, Venda, Ndebele, Tsonga, Pedi, and more. Long before apartheid existed these tribal factions clashed and warred with one another. Then white rule used that animosity [hatred] to divide and conquer. All nonwhites were systematically classified into various groups and subgroups. Then these groups were given differing levels of rights and privileges in order to keep them at odds. .Source:Trevor Noah, Born a Crime:Stories from a South African Childhood, Spiegel Grau, 2016According to this author, how did the minority white population maintain control over the majority black population in South Africa?
