yes these views did exist before apartheid ,they were also kept in place by apartheid ,it could take generations for any kind of change in belief to happen .It has to be remembered that during apartheid SA was ostracised by the western world, as a result the black population didn't have the benefit of mixing with other cultures as freely as the others ,so became entrenched in a belief system handed down from colonial days ,this is were modern education will benefit ,it will teach them that this kind of behaviour is no longer accepted in modern society around the world
