The Group Areas Act, passed in apartheid South Africa in 1950, was a key piece of legislation that formalized racial segregation and enforced the separation of different racial groups in designated areas. The act divided the country into separate residential zones for different racial groups, including white, black, colored, and Indian populations.
Under the act, each racial group was assigned specific areas, and there were severe restrictions on their ability to live and work in areas allocated for other racial groups. This led to forced removals and the destruction of existing communities, disrupting the lives of millions of people and exacerbating social inequalities and racial tensions.
The Group Areas Act was one of the foundational laws of apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination. It sought to maintain white dominance and control over land, resources, and political power at the expense of the non-white population. The act was repealed in 1991, as part of the dismantling of apartheid and the transition to a democratic South Africa.
