The 1950s saw increasingly repressive laws brought against black South Africans. In 1950, the Group Areas Act legislated the racial division of land, the Population Registration Act classified all citizens by race, and the Immorality Act extended to criminalise sexual relations between whites and coloureds. The Separate Amenities Act of 1953 enforced public segregation, for example on buses and in post offices. The Bantu Education Act of 1953 created separate educational facilities for black children under the control of the Ministry of Native Affairs, where pupils would be trained “in accordance with their opportunities in life.”
