What is the South African bantu homeland?

Answer 1

A homeland is a place where the South Africans were forced when invaders came. They were in the inside of South Africa instead of the coast.

----

A homeland was an area within South Africa reserved for native Africans under the Apartheid policy of the South African government which was in government from about 1939 to 1993.

It was in principle identical to the Reservations in the United States which are set aside for native Americans (American Indians). The areas were nominally self governing and land ownership was reserved for native Africans.

This was done as a way of satisfying black demands for self government and preserving white control over the majority of the economically important areas of south Africa. Some homelands were granted independence from South Africa as separate states, but that independence was not recognised by any other country in the world and has now fallen away.

In the end the homelands failed as a means of controlling black south africans. South Africa is now one country, under one government and homelands no longer exist. All that remains of it are large areas of tribal tenure land, where traditional land ownership and cultural practices are encouraged.
