Why apartheid policies have affected black south African wealth?

Apartheid policies in South Africa systematically enforced racial segregation and discrimination, severely limiting economic opportunities for black South Africans. Access to quality education, decent jobs, and property ownership was restricted, perpetuating cycles of poverty. The Group Areas Act, for instance, confined black people to underdeveloped areas, further stifling their economic potential. As a result, decades of inequality have created significant wealth disparities that persist even decades after the end of apartheid.
