Apartheid was a system that was in place in South Africa. It kept white people in power and separated the races.
A good example of an apartheid law was the Reservation of Separate Amenities Act of 1953. This law provided for separate facilities in many public places for white people and non-white people, including restaurants, schools, theaters, and bathrooms. There were many amendments to this Act, including one that said these facilities didn’t have to be equal in terms of quality.
The government passed this law to keep the races apart. The government also wanted to keep white people in power.
This law affected people significantly. Non-white people weren’t treated equally to white people. Their facilities were inferior to those white people had. This Act sent a strong message about how white people viewed those who weren’t white. Non-white people had limited opportunities and experiences because of this law.

How would you define and describe apartheid law? Why did the government introduce this law and how did it affect people on a daily basis?
