 PREAMBLE:  Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

 THE POPULATION REGISTRATION ACT— grouped every South African into a particular “race” (white, Indian, Coloured, and Black). Only whites could vote. Those lower down on the list had fewer rights

 THE MIXED MARRIAGES ACT—made it a crime for any marriage to take place between whites and any other “racial” group. Only 75 marriages between blacks and whites had been recorded before Apartheid began

 THE GROUP AREAS ACT—divided South Africa into different areas where the different “race” groups could live. Of the 3.5 million people who had to leave their homes because of this act, only 2% were white

 THE PASS LAWS— required black South Africans over the age of 16 to carry a pass book, known as a dompas, everywhere and at all times. Within the pages of an individual's dompas were his fingerprints, photograph, personal details of employment, permission from the government to be in a particular part of the country, qualifications to work or seek work in the area, and an employer's reports on worker performance and behavior. If the employer, for any reason, refused to endorse the book for the pertinent time period, the worker's right to stay in the area was jeopardized. Without their pass, they were arrested

 Article 26.  (1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory.

Education for Africans: Cheap, Unskilled Labor Made Here  “If the native in South Africa today... is being taught to expect that he will live his adult life under a policy of equal rights, he is making a big mistake... There is no place for him in the European community above the level of certain forms of labor." -Hendrik Verwoerd, Minister of Bantu Education
