South Africa as racial problems and domination. Although the sys-
become less sharply differentiated tem is capable of physical terror
and armed -suppression, it relies
on a combination of stringent law
enforcement, clever internal prop-
aganda and "education," and the
suppression of "subversive" ele-
ments. For those who choose not
to challenge the restrictive lines-
unquestionably the overwhelming
majority-life is relatively con-
flict-free, and for most whites,
quite pleasant.
Apartheid itself is built around
three basic pieces of legislation:
-The Group Areas Act, which
divides the country into specially
designated areas for specific ra-
cial groups;
The Influx Control Act, which
enforces the "purification" of
white or European areas; and
-The Population Registration
Act, which divides people into
racial types, forbids contact, and
allows for the settling of "doubt-
ful cases" by inspection and "en-
vironmental investigation." Thus
all South Africans must carry
identity cards or "passes" which
specify their racial identity. Since
Africans are frequent violators of
the "pass law," it is not surpris-
ing that the South African free-
Unrest
dom movement had conducted
large pass burnings before it was
banned and forced to go under-
ground.
Another insidious law which
South Africa uses to curb oppo-
sition is the "Suppression of Com-
munism Act." It allows the minis-I
ter of justice to arbitrarily ban
individuals, books and organiza-
tions suspected of Communist in-
clination. Banning is done ad-
ministratively, and no charges
need be outlined and no defense'
is permitted. Under this act, the
Communist party and all African
nationalist groups are outlawed. It
has been used to ban over 18,000;
books, magazines, and newspapers.
Some 683 individuals are also ban-
ned which means they are for-,
bidden to attend gatherings of
either a political or social nature
and cannot publish or be quoted.
Still others have been banished
to remote areas of the country
where they are closely supervised
by an extensive security appara-
tus.
But despite-and because of-

tions set up to preserve stability
