Separate Amenities Public transport, places of entertainment etc. segregated Mixed Marriages Act Forbade marriage between people from different racial groups Immorality Act Forbade sex between people from different racial groups Pass Laws Controlled the movement of blacks in and out of designated white areas. Every black person over the age of 16 had to carry a passbook, which contained a photograph, information about ethnicity, place of work, fingerprints, and a record of encounters with the police. It had to be signed by an employer monthly. Failure to produce an up-to-date passbook resulted in arrest. Pass Laws Controlled the movement of blacks in and out of designated white areas.

Bantu Authorities Act (1951) / Bantu Self- Government Act (1959) Increased the land reserves for blacks in the Natives Land Act of 1913 to 13% of total land, and transformed them into Bantu Homelands. The homelands would become independent states equal to white South Africa, where black people could develop at their own pace towards the white man’s standard of civilization. This vision was meant more to deceive international observers than to actually resolve the social, economic, and cultural gaps between whites and Africans.
