Former Bantustans in South Africa |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Beginning in the 1950s, the government of South Africa divided the black population into ethnic groups and assigned each group to a separate territory, or bantustan. A total of ten bantustans, called homelands by the government, were created as part of the system of apartheid, or separation of the races. The bantustans consisted of many fragments of land and could not support the populations assigned to them. They were reintegrated into the rest of South Africa in 1994. | ||||||
