Explanation:

The whites in South Africa use apartheid laws as a tool for domination over the majority who were Blacks.

The apartheid laws were discriminating and bias in nature, they gave a total say to the whites in South Africa while they oppressed the blacks.

The domination of up to 80 percent of the land in South Africa by whites who were the minority compared to blacks who were the majority clear gives evidence that the apartheid rules were working for the welfare of the white South Africans.
