Gordiner uses irony in that occurrence, for it is ironic that the wife seems to be more trusting of the unemployed vagrants than her maid. One would expect the opposite, that she would be more doubtful of them and that the maid would inspire her to help them.
The extract illustrates the difficult societal circumstances and conflicts which were created by a legalized system of oppression. In the first place, whites, in terms of the apartheid system were placed in superior position and could play a part in all the privileges such a system granted them. All the other races were classified as second or third class members of the society. This obviously led to huge inequalities in the socio-economic status of the different racially classified groups.
Since white people were a privileged class, it was reasonable that a great number of them would adopt a part of superiority and they would look down to the less privileged. Their actions were not essentially guided by sense of obligatory duty or pity but they felt being superior meaning that they could be patronized and make available for those in need. Furthermore, because of the huge difference, the less privileged classes were required into subservient positions and this led to manipulation and abuse that survival became a anxious struggle. Many earned pittance and lived in impoverished conditions.

Answer:
An invasion, via blitzkrieg tactics.
Explanation:
Correct answer: Court cases challenged the legality of discrimination.
I'll mention key court cases after debunking the other answers in the list. Truman's desegregation of the armed forces happened already in 1948, and impacted only those in the armed forces, rather than all African Americans. The suburbs were NOT welcoming toward African Americans, and they remained in living mostly in urban centers.
As to key court cases of the 1950s regarding discrimination:
1950: Sweatt v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents. In these cases, the Supreme Court said segregation of African American students in law and graduate schools was unconstitutional. This was the start of challenging "separate-but-equal" policies.
1954: Brown v. Board of Education. Firm decision that "separate but equal" policies were unconstitutional across the education system. Chief Justice Earl Warren, speaking for the unanimous opinion of the Court, said: “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
1955: Brown v. Board II. The Supreme Court directed that school systems must abolish segregation “with all deliberate speed.”
1956: The Supreme Court affirmed a lower court ruling that the segregation of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus system was illegal. This was in reference to the bus boycott that had begun with the protest by Rosa Parks.
1958: Cooper v. Aaron. The Supreme Court upheld the US Court of Appeals (8th Circuit) decision that resistance by local officials and threats of violence in the community did not justify delaying desegregation. This followed in the wake of the Little Rock Nine (a group of black students) seeking enrollment in LIttle Rock Central High School.
