feb 20, 1959 - Bantu Self-Government Act

Description:

Different racial groups had to live in different areas. Only a small percentage of South Africa was left for black people (who comprised the vast majority) to form their 'homelands'.This Act also got rid of 'black spots' inside white areas, by moving all black people out of the city.
