Prohibited marriages between white people and people of any other racial group.
Prohibited adultery, attempted adultery or related immoral acts (extra-marital sex) between white and black people.
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. This Act grouped every South African into a particular race - white, indian, coloured (mixed race) and black (bantu). Only whites could vote, and the opportunities available to each group decreased according to their race.
Forced physical separation between races by creating different residential areas for different races. 84% of the land was given to the whites, even though they were only 15% of the total population. Blacks were only given 14% of the land, known as the ‘Tribal Homelands’, even though they made up over 80% of the population. If you were living in the ‘wrong’ area you had to move. Usually it was black and coloured people that had to move: out of 3.5 million people who had to leave their homes under this act between 1951 and 1986, only 2% were white.
Outlawed communism and the Community Party in South Africa. Communism was defined so broadly that it covered any call for radical change. Communists could be banned from participating in a political organisation and restricted to a particular area.
Allowed black people to be trained as artisans in the building trade, something previously reserved for whites only, but they had to work within an area designated for blacks. Made it a criminal offence for a black person to perform any skilled work in urban areas except in those sections designated for black occupation.
Together with the 1956 amendment, this act led to the removal of Coloureds from the common voters’ roll.
Gave the Minister of Native Affairs the power to remove blacks from public or privately owned land and to establishment resettlement camps to house these displaced people.
Provided for the establishment of black homelands and regional authorities and, with the aim of creating greater self-government in the homelands, abolished the Native Representative Council.
Narrowed the definition of the category of blacks who had the right of permanent residence in towns. Section 10 limited this to those who’d been born in a town and had lived there continuously for not less than 15 years, or who had been employed there continuously for at least 15 years, or who had worked continuously for the same employer for at least 10 years.
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.
Prohibited strike action by blacks (including unionism).
Established a Black Education Department in the Department of Native Affairs which would compile a curriculum that suited the “nature and requirements of the black people”. The author of the legislation, Dr Hendrik Verwoerd (then Minister of Native Affairs, later Prime Minister), stated that its aim was to prevent Africans receiving an education that would lead them to aspire to positions they wouldn’t be allowed to hold in society. Instead Africans were to receive an education designed to provide them with skills to serve their own people in the homelands or to work in labouring jobs under whites.
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.
This enabled the Government to remove the African residents of Johannesburg's western suburbs of Sophiatown, Martindale and Newclare, where much property was black-owned, to a new government settlement at Meadowlands.
This made whipping compulsory punishment for "theft of or from motor vehicles and receiving stolen property".
Denied black people the option of appealing to the courts against forced removals.
This "enabled municipalities to expel without trial any Black who was considered a threat 'to the maintenance of peace and order' and made failure to obey the ejection order a punishable offence. The chief native commissioner could confine to particular areas the movements of any person who received two such orders within five years. Failure to comply with that order could result in the person being sentenced to a work colony".
Prohibited Africans from going to church services in white areas. However, despite the lack of protest by the Dutch Reformed Church, the law was not enforced and some churches became the rare public places where cross-racial gatherings persisted.
Provided for the creation of financial, commercial, and industrial schemes in areas designated for black people.
Put an end to black students attending white universities (mainly the universities of Cape Town and Witwatersrand). Created separate tertiary institutions for whites, Coloured, blacks, and Asians.
Classified black people into eight ethnic groups. Each group had a Commissioner-General who was tasked to develop a homeland for each, which would be allowed to govern itself independently without white intervention.
Allowed for indefinite detention without trial and established BOSS ( Bureau Of State Security) which was responsible for the internal security of South Africa. Terrorism was defined as "any act committed with the intention of endangering law and order or inciting to or conspiring in the commission of such an act, a separate offence and equated it to treason. Terrorist acts included murder, the possession of arms, ammunition or explosives and the receiving of military training"
