Who committed most of the crimes (and by far the worst crimes) back then? Definitely not the whites. And who were most of the victims? Also not the whites.

I’m astounded that you think this is even a debatable point.
Simply writing off South Africa as racially politicized event is lazy.
They banned racial iteractions to absurd degrees, forbidding interracial marriages, dancing, education, and a host of other things. They forced black South Africans into intentionally inferior education systems, the so-called 'Bantu Education', designed to keep them broadly uneducated and only able to carry out semi-skilled work at best. They implemented a brutal system of repression and pass laws. I could go on and on.
It was a system explicitly and unmistakably based on racism.
