IOTL British, IIRC planned to obtain Delagoa Bay before the Boers of Transvaal manage to establish railway to the region, but failed. However what if it was successful ?

The most obvious result of this will be British Cape Colony becomes the most dominant in South Africa. But what will this bring ? More extensive Briton settlement ? More unitary South Africa ? Governed as a direct colony instead of as a dominion ? Also what about the treatments towards native blacks ? No telling that racism wasn't exclusive to the Boers, but it seems to me that OTL's apartheid was mainly a product of the Boers' domination and thus the application of their ways on the natives due to historical reasons. Under the Anglo domination though, will racism still become as harsh ?
