1913 Natives Land Act

The Natives Land Act, 1913, was an Act of the Parliament of South Africa that prohibited the sale of land from whites to blacks and vice-versa, largely reserving land for white ownership. This act was introduced amidst colonial imperialism, economic transformation, and racially divisive ideals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It defined less than one-tenth of South Africa as Black "reserves" and prohibited any purchase or lease of land by Blacks outside the reserves. The law also restricted the terms of tenure under which Blacks could live on white-owned farms.learn more on wikipedia
