Yes,
oligarchy fits as a description of South African government under the system of apartheid. In the
political philosophy of Aristotle, "
aristocracy" is "rule by the excellent ones," and in certain eras of history or in some societies, one group or another has been portrayed as more "excellent" and thus more favorable for serving as governors. In Aristotle's political thought, an
"oligarchy" or "rule by a few" is a corruption of the idea of aristocracy. But Aristotle was biased, believing that by nature some persons are more excellent than others, that some are more suited by nature to be followers, not leaders. (Aristotle used such logic in defending the institution of slavery, for instance.) Today,
we might argue that any sort of "aristocracy" or elitism is always an oligarchy, an arbitrary system in which a few dominate over the many because of factors that can't rationally be defended.For another answer on a similar question, read more on Brainly.com -

The correct order is:
3. A system of social classes based on birth evolved;
1. Castes are rigid and inflexible; people are born into a caste and cannot leave it;
4. Castes are a prominent part of people's lives, but people may have been able to move around;
2. Discrimination based on caste is determined to be illegal;
The caste system is a system with very long history, and it has been part of the Indian culture for centuries. At the begging, when it was implemented into the society, the caste system was very rigid and strict, and people were destined from birth to a certain social status for the rest of their lives. This lasted for a very long period of time. In the past century, the caste system started to be a bit more flexible, so certain individuals that showed greater qualities were able to progress into the caste system. And recently, the caste system, and discrimination based on it, have been made illegal in the country, so officially it has come to an end.
