The Apartheid politically affected the Black South Africans because laws were intended to segregate races, this was not entirely a new idea. It was a movement of non whites. They divided into groups the “white” and “nonwhite”. The acts intended to segregate the races of South Africa. The Apartheid officially started in 1948. It was designed to make whites supreme and to keep it that way. The Group Areas Act of 1966 and the Land Acts of 1913 and 1936, enforced residential segregation and reserved 87 percent of the land for whites.
