4 Population Registration Act of 1950 This act put all South Africans into three racial categories: Bantu (black African), white, or Colored (of mixed race). A fourth category, Asian (Indians and Pakistanis), was added later.

5 The whites in South Africa during apartheid were a minority group. There were way more whites than blacks, but later more than 80% of the land in South Africa was set aside for this minority.
