Why would white South Africans want to upset the system that gave them so much money and power?

Are you not aware of who was in control during apartheid?

I don't think they could have just voted them out, either. In 1946 it was a response to the foundation of the ANC but by 1948 the Herenigde Nasionale were in control and very authoritarian. White dissenters were treated very harshly, thus discouraging any future support for the dismantling of Apartheid.
