Describe Verwoerd and his beliefs.
- Believed in Idealist apartheid.
- Came to power 1958 and referred to government as “second phase” of apartheid.
- Promised supporters all-white South Africa by 1978.
- Key to his vision of Grand Apartheid was Bantustans- the extension of black reserves to back homelands.
- Combat increased resistance with police and security service which was dominated by Afrikaners.
Describe the Bantu Self-Government Act 1959.
-Established separate territorial governments in ‘homelands’ which were lands for Black people where they could have a vote.
- Aim was the homelands would become independent in South Africa.

- Party organisation, control and bureaucracy was developed to ensure most Afrikaners became dependent on the National Party for their livelihood.
What was Verwoerd’s vision?
What were the main recommendations of the 2955 Tomlinson report?
What would happen after time?
An all white South Africa.
Increase the size of black reserves into black homelands and spend over 100 million of government money on improving farming/ establishing industry in the homelands.
The black homelands would be able to support all black South Africans who would then be excluded from white South Africa.
What act was in 1959?
Bantu-Self Government Act
How many homelands were created?
What would happen to Whites power?
What contradictions were there about the Bantustans?
10 self-governing homelands with each having a different ethnic group.
Whites would be the largest single racial group in South Africa.
Many Black South Africans continued to live and work outside their designated homeland. No country in the world recognised the Bantustans as independent states.
How did Vorster continue Verwoerds policy after assassination in 1966?
He led the first Bantustans to independence in 1976.
Summarise the key problems with the Bantustans.
- Some homelands were tiny, others divided fragments of land.
- Reliant on lots of money from government.
- Verwoerd caved to white industrialists and fid not develop industry in Bantustans.
- White farmers prevented government from properly investing in Bantustans.
- Government in Bantustans were not democratically elected and were instead led by chiefs.
- Despite symbols of independence, government controlled foreign and defence policies for the Bantustans.
- Verwoerd admitted it would be 2000 years before they were self-governing.
Give three examples of corruption amongst the rulers of the Bantustans.
1- Rulers drew big salaries, but could make more money on the side.
2- Trued to create a black middle class which was dependent on them for high washes and a good standard of living.
3- Black ruling class benefitted from white business/ SA government investment in Bantustans, but this created very few jobs for ordinary workers.
Give three examples of problems facing those living on the Bantustans.
Where did many have to find work?
How did this impact travel and homes?
- Life was tough (disease, poverty)
- Overcrowding caused problems for farming
- Problems increased as more Black South Africans were forced to move from white areas.
In white South Africa, away from the Bantustans.
Precarious living conditions- dodging Pass Laws in order to make a living in white areas. Some were forced to live illegally. Others travellers long distances for work. Townships developed in Bantustans, nearest to white urban areas.
How did Verwoerd view his policies on the Bantustans?
Completely confident he was right, despite condemnation from the rest
Of the world. He was appreciated by white for maintaining and protecting white supremacy and for providing them with one of the highest standards of living in the world.

How successful was Grand Apartheid under Verwoed 1958-66?
Social Control: Racial Segregation

How successful was Grand Apartheid under Vorster 1958-66?
Social Control: Racial Segregation
-Sought to continue Verwoerd’s Apartheid vision, but backlash after the Soweto uprising led to Vorster admitting that Apartheid wasn’t working.

What was the international situation of racism like?
Many toon pasty in domestic support to opposition. Not much international recognition in 50s compared to 1945. Less racism in UK but not US due to John Crow laws.
