11 lugl 1952 anni - The Pass Laws Act
Descrizione:
Despite the misleading name of this key piece of apartheid legislation, the Pass Laws were yet another means of enforcing the segregation of populations.The Natives (Abolition of Passes and Co-ordination of Documents) Act of 1952, more commonly known as the Pass Laws Act, was a misnomer.
Rather than abolishing passes, this new law replaces the existing passbooks with more comprehensive documents that Africans would be required to carry on their person at all times.
It was a criminal offense for a Black person not to present his or her passbook on demand, at any time.
