QUESTION 3: APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA-1940s TO 1960s KEY QUESTION: HOW DID THE APARTHEID LAWS VIOLATE THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF PEOPLE IN SOUTH AFRICA? SOURCE A This source deals with some of the reasons for the implementation of Apartheid and was taken from History of Southern Africa by K. Shillington. In the words of one of the architects of apartheid, H.F. Verwoerd, Minister of Bantu Administration, and later Prime Minister (1958-66) there was no place for blacks in the European community above the level of labourer. To offer blacks the same education as whites, he argued, would mislead them by showing them the green pastures of European society which they were not allowed to graze. The apartheid laws were not only the racist views of Afrikaner nationalists, but some of them also had specific advantages for capitalist employers who paid blacks low wages and made huge profits. Blacks, who formed the bulk of the working class, were kept in a subordinate position with laws such as the Industrial Reconciliation Act, Mine and Workers Act and the Civilised Labour Policy. The National Party was returned to office with greatly increased majorities in the general elections of the 1950s and 1960s.
