Headline Apartheid in Republic of South Africa

Caption Description The Republic of South Africa occupies the southern portion of the African continent and includes the former colonies of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. It has an area of 472,359 square miles. Apartheid, which means separateness, is the name given by the Government of South Africa to its system of racial segregation. This policy of racial segregation has been followed since the Dutch-speaking Afrikaners and the English-speaking elements joined to form the Union of South African under the Act of 1909. In 1948, apartheid became an official State policy when the National Party took power. Thus every person in South Africa is classified by race and is entered into the population register according to this classification. The 1967 mid-year estimate of the population, by ethnic composition was: Bantu -- 12, 750,000, White -- 3,563,000, Coloured -- 1,859,000, Asian -- 561,000.

"Family Day" in July 1970 was the occasion on which member of the Black Sash, a dedicated group of South African white women, staged a silent vigil across the stress from Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg against the forced breakup of African families under apartheid laws. Recently African men here been crowded into hostels called "bachelor quarters" away from their wives and children.
