Apartheid was devised by the Afrikaaner dominated Nationalist Party and the Broederbond, an extreme right wing Afrikaaner secret society.

The start of Apartheid legislation was the Population Registration Act of 1950. This act created four distinct racial groups - white, black, coloured and Indian.

White was separated into Afrikaans and English. Black was separated into ten similar groups. The Group Area Act, introduced later in 1950 deciced where people lived according to their racial description. There were further Acts involving employment, education, sexual relations, marriage and other things but that is a much longer story in this sordid affair.
