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.

They gathered in the tiny Congregational Church at Groutville, a small hill-locked su- gar cane village near the town to which Luthuli had been banned some eight years earlier.
