Why did the apartheid government want different racial groups to dislike each other?
So that the government wouldn't have to create language classes for people to understand each other
So that they would blame each other for their problems, instead of blaming the system of apartheid
Because people worked harder when they were only around people from the same racial background
Because when there is war between groups of people, it boosts the national economy
The correct answer is: So that they would blame each other for their problems, instead of blaming the system of apartheid.
The apartheid government implemented policies and propaganda to create divisions and animosity among different racial groups in South Africa. By fostering racial hatred and conflict, they aimed to divert attention from the oppressive policies of apartheid and prevent a unified opposition against the government. By ensuring that racial groups blamed each other for their problems, the government could maintain control and perpetuate the system of apartheid.
