The Coming of Apartheid Definitions and Laws

What is Apartheid? Apartheid begins in 1948 and ends in 1994. From the Dutch word meaning “separateness,” Apartheid was a system of purposeful segregation. Land Wealth Fear

Apartheid Laws Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act, Act No 55 of 1949 Prohibited marriages between white people and people of other races. Between 1946 and the enactment of this law, only 75 mixed marriages had been recorded, compared with some 28,000 white marriages. Population Registration Act, Act No 30 of 1950 Led to the creation of a national register in which every person's race was recorded. A Race Classification Board took the final decision on what a person's race was in disputed cases.

Apartheid Laws Group Areas Act, Act No 41 of 1950 Forced physical separation between races by creating different residential areas for different races. Led to forced removals of people living in "wrong" areas, for example “Coloreds” living in District Six in Cape Town. Separate Representation of Voters Act, Act No 46 of 1951 Together with the 1956 amendment, this act led to the removal of Coloreds from the common voters' roll.

Apartheid Laws Natives (Abolition of Passes and Co-ordination of Documents) Act, Act No 67 of 1952 Commonly known as the Pass Laws, this ironically named act forced black people to carry identification with them at all times. A pass included a photograph, details of place of origin, employment record, tax payments, and encounters with the police. It was a criminal offence to be unable to produce a pass when required to do so by the police. No black person could leave a rural area for an urban one without a permit from the local authorities. On arrival in an urban area a permit to seek work had to be obtained within 72 hours.

Apartheid Laws Native Labour (Settlement of Disputes) Act of 1953 Prohibited strike action by blacks. Reservation of Separate Amenities Act, Act No 49 of 1953 Forced segregation in all public amenities, public buildings, and public transport with the aim of eliminating contact between whites and other races. "Europeans Only" and "Non-Europeans Only" signs were put up. The act stated that facilities provided for different races need not be equal.

Apartheid Laws Natives Resettlement Act, Act No 19 of 1954 Natives (Prohibition of Interdicts) Act, Act No 64 of 1956 Denied black people the option of appealing to the courts against forced removals. Extension of University Education Act, Act 45 of 1959 Put an end to black students attending white universities Terrorism Act of 1967 Allowed for indefinite detention without trial and established BOSS, the Bureau of State Security, which was responsible for the internal security of South Africa.
