What kind of work did most black south africans do when apartheid was in place?

During apartheid in South Africa, most black South Africans were relegated to low-paying, unskilled jobs due to systemic discrimination and restrictive labor laws. They predominantly worked in sectors such as agriculture, mining, and domestic service. Many were also employed in urban areas as laborers in factories or as informal workers, facing significant barriers to advancement and economic stability. The apartheid regime enforced policies that limited their opportunities for education and skilled employment, perpetuating a cycle of poverty.
