The inequality of ownership in South Africa originally came about through apartheid law.
The national party gained leadership in 1948 after which it enforced apartheid laws which segregated non-white South African natives who make the majority population from the white people. The laws restricted the use of certain facilities by providing separate facilities.
It also prohibited any contact and cooperation between the two races. The apartheid system and its laws continued its leadership mundane for 50 years and only then did the opposing government under led by President F.W. de Klerk in 1991 began cancelling the apartheid laws.
