You could also try 'Kaffir Boy' by Mark Mathabane. It is an autobiographical novel that reads like fiction. It tells the story of a young boy growing up in apartheid - era South Africa, and it's a very powerful and moving account that can introduce readers to the South African experience in an understandable way.

Sure. 'Burger's Daughter' by Nadine Gordimer is a good start. It's relatively accessible and gives an insight into South African society during the apartheid era.
