Black South Africans were tortured or killed during Apartheid in order to stop opposition. This was a way to intimidate others to not resist the government. For example, Steven Biko, the leader of the Black Consciousness Movement was sent to prison where he was tortured until the point of death. Overall, the government wanted to keep things the way they always were and therefore used violence to stop any acts against the government. They killed and tortured the blacks in order to set an example to the other blacks that this is what would happen if they tried to resist.
