Promotion of Bantu Self-Government Act

Promotion of Bantu Self-Government Act

The Promotion of Bantu Self-Government Act No 46 of 1959 (commenced 19 June) was a piece of South African apartheid legislation that allowed for the transformation of reserves into "fully fledged independent Bantustans" which would also divide Blacks into 'ethnically' discrete groups. It also resulted in the abolition of parliamentary representation for Blacks.

Blacks were separated, or classified, into eight different ethnic groups, each of which was provided with a Commissioner-General who was entrusted with the development of their assigned Bantustan into a self-governing state.

The Act was repealed by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act No 200 of 1993.
