Of course, the devil is in the details.
While we were equal, we were still separate. This was still Apartheid, after all. The 1983 constitution created three supposedly-equal legislatures: a White House of Assembly, a Coloured House of Representatives, and an Indian House of Delegates. People voted, but which race your ID card said you were would dictate which candidates you were allowed to vote for and which building those candidates, if elected, would sit in.
