Discuss the impact of the policy of segregation between 1910 and 1948.

The question requires that candidates offer a considered and balanced review of the impact of the segregation policy between 1910 and 1948. Candidates may consider the impact of legislation such as the Natives Land Act, the National Urban Areas Act and others designed to limit the economic and political rights of Africans. The physical separation of white and African populations limited residential, employment and mobility rights of Africans; the significance of this discrimination in jobs and wages against Africans may also be discussed. Political effects may include the rise of protest groups (African National Congress) amongst the African and other non-white populations. Social effects may include declining living, health and education standards for Africans and the increasing wealth and power gaps between them and the white population. The economic and political advantages for the white population may be considered along with hardening racial attitudes of both white and African populations.
