In the 1950s, the government
of South Africa imposed several acts in the course of the apartheid
ideology.
1950:
POPULATION REGISTRATION ACT:
Everyone was to be classified according to a so-called 'racial group':
'White', 'Coloured', 'Indian', 'Native' or 'Bantu', i.e. Black
African.
THE GROUP AREAS ACT: Referring to
their 'racial group', people were separated and forced to move to
special areas. Blacks and Coloureds, for instance, had to live in
the so-called homelands or townships.
In case of different classifications
among one family, it often occured that it was split up.
1953:
THE SEPARATE AMENITIES ACT:
Differently classified people were forbidden to gather at the same
place and use the same public facilities.
