How did a few blacks and Indians attain good education during apartheid in Cape Town?

Obviously some attained degrees overseas or in neighbouring countries. However it was possible to study at the prior open universities with a permit from the minister. Such permits usually required that the student was gifted and that there wasn't a segregated university offering the main subject of the degree.

There were also the segregated universities so it's not like they didn't have access to higher education.

As for the rest of your question added, free education wasn't like it is today. Whether you were black or white if you didn't come from a wealthy family pretty much your only chance of further education was to get a bursary.
